Miss Liberty (My Amputee)
I’m lacquered again within your glowing effect
slinking in solitude until ego gets wrecked
by your magnanimous accord of splendor
quaking my resolve until I surrender.
Your laugh raises hairs along my prickly spine
to remunerate my comical design:
that quirky irony that spirit reveals
since exiled in wonderment without appeals.
Gross disdain sweeps across your delicate face
when memories of arrogance scrap life’s grace.
Preconceived notions spit venom to rival
your serpentine mind clawing for survival.
Tension-soaked apprehension sparks attention
within your dimension of comprehension
as wraiths and jackboots compress your elation,
the occult foundation bids consternation.
They don’t know the treasures you carry proudly
since they busy themselves shouting so loudly
why they deserve interest from your goddess form
while these citizens ignore the pending storm.
I recognize your salvation without words
as the planet gets hacked apart into thirds
plagues stream from labs to spill this leper genus
till your arms and light get lopped off like Venus.
With your passing the scoundrels start amassing
regulations designed to be harassing
since tyrants opposed to any contention
shall claim humanity deserves suspension.
