Reveal Your Face

Crawl out of your peeping hole and face me like a man You have been hiding for years and paying people to do your sordid scam For years you have taunted me without showing any mercy invading my privacy monitoring my computer tracing my movements and intimidating me with coward gangster You have sabotaged my employment Shows up at my job interviews instructed my employer to banish me just to see the other side of me Touch not God’s anointed Or your sorrows shall be multiplied You have punished everyone who contacted me and fabricates false stories and treacherous lies You have broadcasted it on the news And have caused many people to become confused It’s time to stop your filthy scam and close that chapter before you are dammed If you do not stop hurting me there will be another worldwide disgrace staring in your beguiling face You have punished the innocent ones who have decided not to do wrong I have kept out of your way but you crawl back the other way I am ready for a real fight I will beat you without guns or knives I have cried seven days on my ancestor’s grave And seven powerful sprits will come after you in seven different ways they will strip you of your abusive power daub you in your own mud and drench you with flood I have also prayed a strong prayer hoping for your forgiveness but he promised that you will bear your own shame disgrace and drunken laughter I have wept day and night stayed up late yet you kept following me looking for a fight creating false stories for your meaningless glory Take a look at your shaking hands you are no match for my iron man If you are so strong and heinous Why don’t you come out of your peeping hole confront me and fight me like a real man Come with your bullet less guns your entourage and wimpy bodyguards Real warriors go to war they do not stage events or create false alarm If you are so big and mighty why are so many people in your house dying of poverty Look around you and you will see you spend all the money running after me And your people are hungry homeless and dirty your house is about to tumble Your buildings are old and shabby And I can barely drive on your cracked road Look I just damage my windshield from a pebble on your broken roads Your children cannot read or write Your classrooms are old and crummy Yet every day you are running after my innocent soul the people you have running after me are actually working for me? They are slaves in my land while the bad boys are reaping gold in your land You set up fake mad men at the junction and little children to guard the centers You send fake alcoholic teachers in classrooms to suppress innocent students brain Yet with all of that you still cannot get to the top I have travelled thousands of miles to be at peace but you track me down and sold me to heartless murderers Look my ferocious bull is about to get you he is my bodyguard and fearless warrior if you don't leave me alone He will rip your sordid gut apart before the fiery battle starts ©2013 Christine Phillips

Woman thy name is Jobe or at least your trials seem as his were said to be. In any case it was a roller coaster ride. Thanks

This is a metophorical masterpiece. I am moved yet left confused, baffled and mesmorized. This one will roll around in my mind for a long time. For me I interpreted the man as a particular nation (which I shall not name). Perhaps not what you are going for but it is how this piece resonated within me.

Excellent write Christine! I like the aspect of fighting back on the face of oppression - the mask seeks to provide immunity but the bullied do not cower in silence. Very well penned!

does this, I wonder, refer to the big brother surveillance state we now find ourselves residing in? george orwell warned of it in his novel 1984, he belonged to the fabian society which was where he gained his inside information of what was planned for humanity, he wrote that book as a warning of what was to come, we didn't listen, hence the surveillance society/police state/big brother we are now stuck with...
