Short Ostracized Poems

Ostracized again
Just as my wings began to mend….
Feathers blow in wind...

Mental image drawn
Encoded message filed
Mapped sequence spawned
Ostracized in time capsule
Recurring stimuli recall
Yearning for continuity...

Ostracized by many for my belief
Though loved by some for my deeds,
Eternally craving for that human relief
Perfectly flawed yet perfectly happy....

Ostracized by many for my belief,
Though loved by some for my spirit and deeds,
Eternally craving for that human relief,
Perfectly flawed yet perfectly happy....

Odious transgressor,
Often wearing face masks.
Objective - get money.
Ominous demeanor,
Offensive behavior,
Out maneuvers the law.
Ostracized by good folk....

Woe is us, we wretched Dyslexicons,
We visionary thinking paragons,
We the summer-school-room-dwelling patsies,
We the ostracized by Spelling Nazis.

(sorry, lied about the soccer)...

Being a showgirl made her kryptonite
Bill kept it a secret for it was a blight.
At this time show folk were ostracized on sight.
She married his cousin who had his own light.
Bill always felt badly and kept out of sight....

Eyes closed,
Hands pushed out into nothing
Trying to grasp onto the neutrino
That is something beautiful.

Open eyes;
Bitter-sweet truths of yesterday
That have now been ostracized
From this treacherous world,
Adhering eternally to the night....

A Limerick
About
An Ostracized Ostrich
Written: by Tom Wright
7/22/2006

An ostrich, which was Sue so dubbed
Thought surely she had been snubbed 
Though given wings, a pair
They wouldn’t lift her to air 
Leaving her to think somebody flubbed

the ugly duckling

                                 was ostracized by the herd -

                                      ... goes the path of shame

the world has not 
been kind to you;
you have been
hardened and 
ostracized so much 
you can barely 
recognize yourself

it takes a lot of
courage to admit 
you aren’t the person
you wanted to be 
and people change 

you have not known kindness
but i can change that...

full-fledged member 
of the inner cycle that 
exists within the realm 
of the internal world 
without exceptions to the rule
should have remained a valid 
contributor sited amongst 
the valued counsel members 
instead of being ostracized and 
extradited from all future encounters...

will to be diff’rent
fractals with cursive curlicues
cream-colored overalls

ostracized by nuns
and formal catechisms
with habitual fashion sense

now I’m in control
spinning like a pinwheel
with poetic enunciation

showed them, showed them all
i could take off my uniform
it’s monotone gray

Going nowhere; a voyager of circles, succeeds
  Hoing my own garden; a harvest, full of weeds
    Ostracized; for concerning myself, of others' needs
      So; is this the flavor of my ink, when it bleeds?
        Thrilled by my emotions; they are my poetic creeds
           Spectors, are now plowing; to plant their own seeds...

There was a man who was thought to be numb,
Some even said he was dumb,
But he tried to live a good life,
Married a wonderful wife,
And all his critics were bummed.

His friends were pretty sparse,
They'd rather he be a farce,
It's lonely to live in Truth of course,
One must be as strong as a horse,
...Much easier to be his arse....

~~~
Ostracized
forsaken place
these bars of time
no saving grace
from whence I came
a fence I face
around and round
no end in chase

Just because
I said I do
I'm seldom excused
when postage due

No-one to share
I stand alone
to cheat despair
I scratch this poem
of matters fact
it finds no home
amid your care
dispense of drone

She hid her talents in the deepest darkest recessed corner
Taking it out never, for fear of being called brilliant.
She did not want to be shunned or ostracized, 
Knowing her people well

Then one day she met a stranger who coaxed her a tiny bit
Encouraged her to allow herself to be
She shook out one sliver of a slip of a talent
And began to glow, and began to grow....

will I be enough?
can I live as me?
am I a secret?
or do people know?

If they knew, would I be ostracized?
Shamed? Shunned? Despised?
Who would love me if I was fully me?
Where is my mask? Should I wear it?

I fear letting myself loose on the world
I might not be successful
I might not be the best 
I might not be me

Will I be able to survive
if no one loves me?...

The pregnant dream vs the naked existence.
The healthy belligerent vs sanguine invalid. 
The buoyant child vs the cavillous pensioner.
The all-giving African vs the all-recieving European.
The befriended neighbour vs the ostracized man.
The kaleidoscopic optimist vs bleak pessimist.
The raw truth vs the falsified lie.
The low-key good Samaritan vs the ostentatious donator.
The good vs the bad....

I've seen the by-product
of alcoholic parents
not my own
but some folk I love

Those whose souls
cry out from a childhood
    of 
Poverty
Humiliation
Being Ostracized
Anger

MIXED AT THAT!
Black and White

Where I come from, 
a formula for torture
not black enough
not white enough

Living in the ghetto's 
of San Francisco
leaves that adult
by-product
in a messed up way

Pandoras box 
Filled with unimaginable doom
And unprecedented gloom
Pandoras box
A little box of grief and unendless tears 
Bringing perpetual pain to the inquisitive 
As they sought for the unsoughtable 
Pandoras box 
A tiny pang of greatest agony 
As it opens to its inquirer with unending nights of horror
Let my curiosity lead me not 
To the dreadful box of Pandora 
Least I be ostracized and hunted 
At the youthful bloom of my days...

A sacred sacrifice
Had tampered fates
Befell on those whose glory one relayed
A heavenly fruit in disguise poisoned the king that ostracized

The lesson learnt was soon forgotten
Brought another fellow beast to life
Carriages covered in lavender leaves 
Strangled the malicious monarch that used to greed

The innocent one had emerged 
But it seemed as if the stars had cursed
Baby Luke was burnt to death
Only if the fates had been reset...

Imagine that you are a girl 
trapped in the body of a boy
You get shoved into cotton boxers
but you want silk panties

you cry and scream and beg
your please are ignored
and you are punished
for being you

you are ostracized and bullied
for not wanting to hunt, fish
or kill animals.
or be a quarterback

you are kicked out when you reach fifteen
because you will not conform
a spiritual family takes you in
they try to build you up
but it is too late....
