In your mood of seeking perfection,
In your fundamentalism--
Stay clear of me and my scars.
Birthmarks are not leprosy
Until I waste my vision
On their defense....

"Who am I to judge another
when I walk with"... leprosy

 all me and women are born
a common soul
 and die in Victory
                                 if life had been worth while....

To all the broken hearted...

I closed my wet eyes
you appeared beside my bed
The wind slammed the door!

In life there are certain sores which, like  Leprosy, slowly erode your soul in solitude.

Broken arms hold a baby chewed in leprosy,
Black rain covers slit wrists,
Birthdays are rehearsals for Funerals.


The heart is a rapist

fate a faded color.

there just isn't enough candles
to go around
for the man
who stays
drunk
forever....

Her cousin Leprosy is a mean old toad
He waved his wand and he made her old
He gave her spots, and he made her croak.
She sits on a pumpkin today, and it is no joke.

I will get him back the frog witch vowed.
She told her cousins, neighbors and the crowd.
They waited day and night to see the show
But Leprosy never came back, not to or fro....

Leprosy  

Foolhardy blight that languishes in a musosal drop
Transmitted to the genetically predisposed
That causes dermal cells to mutate
With its tubercle relative to sympathize
Slow surface lesions manifest
And the host begins to realize
Its ancient punishment from the gods
Singled out to be excluded
In colonies for those alike
As microbacterium leprae proceeds to colonize...

Here and there and everywhere
News goes overboard to scare 
"You'll lose freedom, yes indeed!"
In your head they'll plant the seed

Here's our new Commander Chief
No!   he's a liar, she's a thief!
Give a dollar then you'll see
"A vote for him is leprosy" 

For now, we tread another year
Backstabbing, conscious clear
Watch the 'Winner" take the stage
Goodbye hype ...No more rage!

A panacea for cancer is what I’m all about
What about Alzheimer’s, the jealous one asked in a shout
Let’s not forget chicken pox, heart attacks and leprosy
The scientist ran from his lab, to watch monotone TV

He wanted to eliminate all the diseases, of course
But opposition was as stubborn as Farmer Joe's plow horse
The naysayers were yelling suggestions into the outside air.
He knew they each had an agenda, and nothing would seem fair....

my seed came to me 
with a bump on his face 
and ask why we both 
had the same on our faces
and why it had showed up 
over night?

lie to the child 
lie for heavens place 
lie, and never tell 
him the truth of hate

spin a not knowing 
so he will think every things alright 
but in my own eye 
the fear spilled out 

the shame of what 
has happen to his face 
the shame of knowing 
i failed to keep the fallen 
from my door 
the shame...

Armadillo,
peccadillo,
armored, slow, but
sneaky fellow
when confronted,
rather yellow
some say, very 
cute!

Armadillo
peccadillo,
leprosy and
such diseases
not aggressive,
somewhat mellow
he's a nasty
brute!

Armadillo,
peccadillo,
please stay in the
open fields, not 
tearing up my
daffodils and
nibbling to the
root!

Armadillo,
peccadillo,
please return to
Amarillo,
and even though
you travel slow,
now skedaddle,
scoot!...

We have just agreed on paper:
He is to us all  'A leper'
Still leper with his skyscraper,
No less so with his nice wrapper...

Oh Yes! For him some saved pepper,
Bertram T. Noah cause to caper,
For blokes he'd kept at a distance;
Persons elsewhere 'Revered Substance'
We're all clearly turning fiends, 
Who had been his supportive friends,
At the bottom of it all pride,
As options began to be wide...

More visits to us for new shape
We have blades that leprosy scrape....
