We walk with the information of quasars and the discernment of protoplasm. Each day we live and die, each day our tears run dry. Information is the rubble, the clutter of our civil war. Reality becomes disposable when fact and fevered fiction are made coequals, when the rampancy of lies massacres the truth. Each day we live and die,...

Originally published in Out On a Limb, an Anthology for Friends June 2020 You hate me for my color. You hate me for our differences. You hate me for my successes. You call me names. You call me useless. You call me an outsider. You marked me as invisible. You made me your scapegoat. You expressed your hatred, and Excluded me from your world, Allowing...

Punished for nothing and sacrificed For the sake of its murderers vanity They victimized you to satisfy Their own uplifting insanity What was the subliminal god's reaction? Seems he wasn’t too pleased with that So quoting Mick Jagger, no satisfaction Has appeared as a matter of fact Mortal sins have exceeded all expectations The worst get unlimited power The wise have diluted in million variations Their...

Leviticus 16:10 (KJV) But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness. Jesus, the scapegoat for all the world, the reason I know hope, faith and love, the beauty...

There're a lot of Strange, funny and weird stories It's common to be employed as a stuntman in acting But not to be employed for something evils But not to be employed as a scapegoat Maybe a ghost is looking for a substitute But it's certainly ridiculous To look for a stand-in for sickness To look for a stuntman for your...

Scapegoat
I believe there was a time When you may have cared about me I can’t say it was love I don’t know if your Capable of that or Ever will be Over the years mental illness Addiction and greed has destroyed Any kind of relationship Or feeling of family between us Lines have been drawn In the rock Unable to ever...

Somber Pitch
Of scapegoats Who in cold walk without coats For they have been neglected And left unprotected Of human race Whose freedom is less And whose efforts; Meanwhile labelled ‘faults’; Are nothing, but the burden That which they do not deserve Of mankind Who for nothing labor for the unkind And toil to no avail for a free mind While their speech Is and forever a somber...

Here is just a little clue, Look inside the words I write, Other words hide in there, too, When packed in tight, they unite. Scapegoat is the first one, I don’t think a goat’s aware, Escaping from this poem, That his pelt might need repair. Afterthought is complex too, A thought that comes thereafter, After all the work is through, Thought-too-late distractor. Airbag? Are...

Scapegoat
Do you have what it takes? Fast forward hit the breaks Life retaliates- And I can’t hear you I’ve raised the stakes. You’re losing, abusing the guidelines Trying to read the fine lines- That are already erased. My reality is faced- With demons trying to bring me down I can feel myself drown In and out of breath Your words they hit me And clog my throat- It’s...
