Short Brutalize Poems

Look at me now
She gives me a dollar sign
As big as a tree
Blues and loneliness
Brutalize my dog life...

The affable persevere against the unruly
They raise mighty hands to calm the wild
The irrepressible do right in their own eyes
They brutalize

The small and innocent child,
He did not a thing wrong,
Taken from his mom;
Killed and criticized....

Suffer harsh indignities
Draw your anger in
Implode

Lament not your condition
But instead your lack
Of strength

Recognize not your potency
But rather glorify
Your futility

Brutalize not your enemies
But the conditions
That bred them

Feed goats of iniquity
The putrid fodder
Of false pride

Accept yourself
As a failure
And your children too

Fuel blazing ambition
With fetid flesh
Of skittering neurosis

Die...

You can fool a fool,
you can cheat one’s mind.
You can con a con,
even steal from the blind.

You can shake a shaker,
you can brutalize a Brut.
You can mob a mobster –
and embezzle their loot.

You can charm a charmer,
sell your soul for a penny.
You can take from a taker,
for pennies you have many.

But can you hold a hand,
and experience love for free?
Know true respect for all to see?
Gain one's trust without a fee?
You poor, poor, foolish soul,
who will ever get to know the "real me"....

There are so many hurtful things
I wish I could take back
So many painful things
That it's hard to keep track

I never meant to be mean
I never wanted to make you cry
My regret goes unseen
and apologies I can't buy

Now we both lie
broken inside
with our tears to cry
and to hide

I want to take back
all the things I said 
All the compassion I lack
stays locked inside my head

I wish I could apologize
for my action
the things I said to brutalize
Just because of my faction...
