Angel of Mercy Please Intercede
Angel of mercy please intercede
Weakest most lame specimen
among human breed
control of my life I willingly concede
wordless son of a gun fires off
following capricious poetic deed
done dirt cheap while
traveling highway to hell
the speed limit I did not exceed,
nevertheless pressing pedal to metal
found me flirting with mortality
though being crash test dummy
if fatal would at long last
bring deliverance linkedin
to mental health woes
spirit of mine courtesy
self imprisonment freed
uncoupling yours truly,
one suburban human among
Homo sapiens species greed,
who avoided risks incurred
against life and limb didst heed
overly precautious immersing
self in the electric kool aid
basic acid litmus test, which
absent forging, limning, reckoning...
critical (race theory) consciousness
within crucible of existence
sabotaged maturation of body,
mind, and spirit indeed
and subsequently did impede
healthy development, hence
euthanasia next best option.
Though predominantly skeptical
concerning divine intervention...
crushing desperation grinds heavily
kickstarting, mortgaging, pummeling
ripsnorting, unraveling, ar...wresting...
sense and sensibility...annihilating
joie de vivre exceeding Herculean powers
to defy overbearing blitzkrieg,
luftwaffe pounding psyche
wickedly, unbearably suffocating,
helplessly choking
impossibility to gasp
even one breath
lifesource within sucked
dry as a bone,
hence desperation beseeching
salvation to triumph
over mailer daemon adversity
wildly analogous to aerialist
readily clasped linkedin
clenching tight teammate's hands
thwarting being pitched
feather head over tar heels,
whereby yours truly
grasps empty air
spiralling untethered from gravity
lost in space
scanning distant heavens
to espy prayerful rescue
courtesy winged warrior
benevolent endearing joyous
miraculous celestial being
rendering genuine ambition
to mend figurative fences,
with kith and kin,
where orneriness (mine) cleft
delicate whirled wide webbing,
thus me metaphorically dangling
bandied to and fro
hither and yon
free falling unmoored
grudgingly surrendering
mine mortality nsync
with manifest destiny
regarding death be not proud
of all corporeal entities
temporarily suspending atheism
in limbo where faith no more
steady Rock of Gibraltar
(though steeply entrenched)
peering skyward gleaning any hint
to perceive inimitable
otherworldly gifted helpmate
to usher deliverance, viz exaltations
experiencing unbridled affinity
toward kith and kin.
