James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Dramatic Verse

Notes About The Poem

Jaundiced Spiritual Heart and Mind-

jaundiced spiritual heart and mind-


"Bitter am I
Resentful of your lit voice thoughts
Cynical “sigh” is this all you got
My rage is my tumors, enraged is my stupor
Soured my lips poison distorted
As forth in my ignorant I am bile
Running from my here and now
Disenchanted romancing the thought of you getting more than me
Disillusioned that we are the same
Disappointed because you hold the reign
Pessimistic at opt I’m all you got
Skeptical intermission unfaithful decision
Distrustful suspicious misanthropic
Jealous because what you got and don’t got
Envious of your wares, do you even care
Narrow-minded my hatred cause your skin is______?
Bigoted prejudiced what I got left
My spirit, 
My mind
My heart and soul
My lips and tongue
May we one day unshackle our consciousness from bondage, 
To our deep rooted narrowness surprise?
Guess what we’re just jaundiced"
-jaundiced spiritual heart and mind
