Poem
Lionel Derbyshire
O scratchy ear
Why you itch
Is someone near ?
I am just sitting down
Looking at a tile
Which is plastered down
On a floor
With an empty soul.
I contemplate
With frightly expectations.
No thing is guaranteed.
I hear scandal
Lip's are describing me
Heartly tearing me
Their word's are not dear
Tearing right down to the bone.
They myth and they lie
Festering my flesh.
Their knives are long
Castor could be right ..
Pollux could be wrong
Bright stars dim me light
Gemini's out of sight
Their justice talking
Music to my ears ?
Or lyrical decadence
What is the difference ..
In their deceit
There to amuse
Their lie's of me.
Their bugs don't hurt
They stab in my back
Right into my pride.
Word's sorely heard.
