By God’s Law, I don’t subside

My tears are diamonds in...

Of which my comedy does not take care,

Between the martyrdoms and the ground wall,

I sing my songs with rageful joy in mind,
Forgetting the past struggles, aches and sorrows
That intertwine with my mind’s eye, leaving all of me behind
Forgiving others of their wrongs for better tomorrows

Just the other day,
A place passed 
Countless times,

With crooked, malicious, wicked discord

To be my shadow beneath me

The blind man waited, 
at the intersection, for someone
to help him cross the busy boulevard...
and he was accustomed to live in twilight,

So that were redden both my cheeks for shame,
And after gave  me comfort as to free;

So used to be the spear, I felt the same,
Of Achilles and...

Brought forth, force to kneel, before the newly crowned
Pharaoh of Egypt!
Branded a heretic, a blasphemer of the Gods, a traitor to

Brackish-gurgling days that
Unobtrusively slid along
Past tussock grass and curled up 
Balls of Fern...
Glued tightly onto structured vanes
Of outstretched frond.

Downturn - 
Wherein contained: 
Foreboding dialects delivered...

And pain which finds in eyes...
