Hands Off

Enraged raw and spitting Love warped beyond identity Ten fingers ready to in-dulge Sick offerings real men can't abide Scarring rosette flesh once, always Memories etched eternal Blasphemers amuck, still free Where is the Newberry blade Cast upon ogres smiling with glee Revulsion retching tears without salt Anguish of hopeless helpless men Protection eludes soul aching ire Never settle for less than hellfire

Your title says it all. Yes, ' hands off ' . . . please ! ! I agree with Victor, so deserving of such punishment, yet, needing prayers for sure. This is deep, powerful and emotional. ~ BL

Anguish of hopeless helpless men: so many of them. They deserve hell... but let's be charitable and pray for them.

Immediately incensed. There is a poet here who is extraordinarily talented. They portray such pain I am drenched. Weeping and gnashing. :((
