Pariah heap - savagely subjecting myself to humiliation

Pariah heap - savagely subjecting myself to humiliation

Outward slovenly appearance bespeaks volumes
wordsworth their weight in gold
(exhumed from the pith
of these lovely bones -
beclothed with mottled skin)
presages afterlife of hellish horror
(think Dante's inferno),
nevertheless a respite from earthly torture
wracking mein kampf since conception.

I lived without great expectations
diploid on an impossible mission
set in motion courtesy
triggered pleasure zones,
when natural

Pariah

pardons for the beggar
he knows not what he trades
witness to the rapture
a feather for a spade
preaching him a savior
what alms that would've made
words to sate the hunger
though wordlessly he prayed

threnodies for martyrs
indifferently played
lulling into stupor
those starving to be saved
beneath the skyscrapers
within walls mired and grayed
they all roam encumbered
and silently they pray

ripping through the integuments
of a

A Pariah With Immaculate Taste

I wasn’t enough for your world, 
I was just supposed to lead you to it; 
Sitting in the corner emotionally curled;

A sin the Universe was forced to commit 
this magic was finite and couldn’t last; 
Blessed and cursed with the eyes of a misfit; 

Never really ranked within your blast; 
Timed softly and so carefully

King Pariah

I am but an outcast member
Misfortune led my reputation astray
Fake people led me to nowhere
So it's futile to prolong my days
If only I were more rich in hope?

I am a lion missing from its pride
Predatory dominance expelled me
Roars of strife that cut to the inside
Casted me out to the open where I'm free
I am more

A Voice Is Heard 2

A message - doom for people uninsured,
the ancient mentor, Jeremiah spoke.
For forty years he forcefully endured
rejection every day, pariah's yoke. 
The weeping prophet cried to heedless folk.

While God's own nation full of doubt and fears
had heard the somber message whereupon
insurance (trust in God) they spurned for years.
At last, eviction: grace and hope foregone.
It's due, captivity

I Am a Pariah


In my dreams
I am a pariah
Drifting endlessly
Battle after battle

Do you know me?

I hide
Afraid to live
Unable to love
Desolate

Do I know me?

Rip my wings
Bound to the ground
Suck my voice
From my lungs

Does God know me?

Faithless
Forgotten and forsaken
I don't understand
My purpose

Does the universe know me?

I am a tree
Rooted to depression
Confession
I am a pariah

Pariah

While i peel the banana off the peel,
I see the world in motion,
In hastiness, in deceit,
In gaudiness, in retreat.
 
While i eat the apple seeds
I see you Senor,
Clasp an unknown woman's hand
While your wife waves, so grand
 
While i drink the colored stream
I see you old man,
Think you tarried too much so as
To be thrown

The Pariah S

Quietly, she sits in the corner looking in
    reflecting on how it all went down
Perplexed by her identity, her mind, her muse- 
    her soul purpose in this wasted life 

She thought too deeply - for too long
  about why her life is this way
Lack of drive, enthusiasm

Pariah

Outcast amidst the favored few
walk in shadows, still in view 
downcast in face, cast down in place
abysmal human's lost his race

Denied to sup the once shared milk,
no care nor kindness for his ilk
emptied fullness, fully void
life once built is now destroyed

Bows and scrapes for charity,
no one cares and no one sees
a living death, lives a

Unassuming Pariah

Want of a princess but not of me
South of ill-proclaimed royalty
A prince in nature, heart, and mind
Blue glass learned between the lines
Glides to the stables cape awhirl
Who knows he’s meant to be my world
All for one or rather two
A cage for the dance that ensues
I’m reluctant beckon a smile
A glance to perfection’s profile
He’s aware tears
