Alcoholism, the pariah
feeding on the collapse
of self-control 
befuddling the brain's sensibility;
transforming intelligence
into ridicule....

Samson had Delilah,
I married a pariah...

She'd bedded the
entire city,
And was really not that pretty,

But dumb is dumb,
And genitals think,
Led to a marriage,
Which really did stink....

mighty messiah 
who was named Jeremiah
not a pariah 

does intensify
God will come down from the sky
while people will die

there are those we seek
may be mild mixed with the meek
who to we will speak...

Once upon a haven
for now a heathen waif
once unified by craft
now a lowly execrate
for loving every neighbour 
for flying a rainbow flag
for once upon a kinship 
now pariah   what a drag

***


Dedicated to all the poets 
who have left for safer sites....

Mariah Made into a Messiah


Remember when we called wind Mariah,
Who we made into a mature Messiah;
Had been said,
From Bible read,
And planned on being a paranoid pariah.
(Also he had brother who was a hyena.)

the false liberal
a profiteer
takes advantage of good and vice
wants to profit from our sacrifice...
  Does not  llove life sucks it up,
does not  love humanity
explores it...
Is a pariah,
a parasite
between usury and theft
he exits,
to usurps and boasts
with the fruit of sin...!...

My stem droops
My petals are awkward
My leaves are brown and wilted

But the other flowers

Their stems are straight
Their petals are perfect
And their leaves are bright and green

The sun shakes his head at me
"A crow amongst doves"
He says

I want to be beautiful
But all I'll ever be
Is an outcast
A pariah
Imperfect...

Remember that Day 

Rememeber that Day
Burned into a memory
The day the Gloves came off
Asked to defend a position
They questioned my decision  
Based upon what half of the Fact's
Did they bother react
Youve already made up your mind
Guilty before charged
Charged with emotion
That insideous notion
Throw the book at this Pariah
Portray him as Liar...

Catching the flu starts with a sneeze,
a tickle of the throat and a little wheeze.

Your nose will start draining an abundance of mucus.
Hacking and coughing sounds become a nuisance 

Fever, chills, your body is infested 
Your head and Joints ache so Tylenol is digested 

You are now a pariah to the common health.
People that come in contact brace themselves....

Outcast amidst the favored few
walk in shadows, still in view 
downcast in face, cast down in place
abysmal human's lost his race

Denied to sup the once shared milk,
no care nor kindness for his ilk
emptied fullness, fully void
life once built is now destroyed

Bows and scrapes for charity,
no one cares and no one sees
a living death, lives a Pariah
oh specter, where is your Messiah?...

A message - doom for people uninsured,
the ancient mentor, Jeremiah spoke.
For forty years he forcefully endured
rejection every day, pariah's yoke. 
The weeping prophet cried to heedless folk.

While God's own nation full of doubt and fears
had heard the somber message whereupon
insurance (trust in God) they spurned for years.
At last, eviction: grace and hope foregone.
It's due, captivity in Babylon.

In my dreams
I am a pariah
Drifting endlessly
Battle after battle

Do you know me?

I hide
Afraid to live
Unable to love
Desolate

Do I know me?

Rip my wings
Bound to the ground
Suck my voice
From my lungs

Does God know me?

Faithless
Forgotten and forsaken
I don't understand
My purpose

Does the universe know me?

I am a tree
Rooted to depression
Confession
I am a pariah

Quietly, she sits in the corner looking in
    reflecting on how it all went down
Perplexed by her identity, her mind, her muse- 
    her soul purpose in this wasted life 

She thought too deeply - for too long
  about why her life is this way
Lack of drive, enthusiasm
    for the institutions she's in

Wake up! she says, but she was wide awake- 
    it was those that were succumbing to the
Institutions that were in a deep trance...

A shimmering sun
Illuminating rays of fun

Sparkling ocean
A universe's devotion

It could be tragic
To capture the magic

Let the colors free
For exuberant eyes to see

A dazzling dance
If taken the chance

Music is my messiah
Perhaps why I'm a pariah

Painting pictures
Manic mixtures

With wily words
Here come the herds

Hide your heart
From a deviant's dart

I'm just a silly flightless bird
Painting pictures with words...

I wasn’t enough for your world, 
I was just supposed to lead you to it; 
Sitting in the corner emotionally curled;

A sin the Universe was forced to commit 
this magic was finite and couldn’t last; 
Blessed and cursed with the eyes of a misfit; 

Never really ranked within your blast; 
Timed softly and so carefully placed,
my shadow created a peaceful overcast; 

Saw it before anyone else then I was erased;
The life of a pariah with immaculate taste....

The exclusion that rages
within my cauliflower of sparks
screams the howl of the pariah
scraping all rebuffs for meaning
to find only lonely betrayal

at the end of your shackle
indignant in clang and shape
as if you’re the blushing victim
slumped in the cold undergrowth
in need of rallying friends

and the trappings of scorn
unfounded with wild stories
flying loose without the truth
revealing such banality of insanity;
more drama to fill your void....

She stood before distorted mirror of her past

Munching and mincing in  stream of regret 

As the Adam evaporated after the fallen apple

A pariah she became in the market-square of womanhood 

Having lost her virginity on altar of love 

Tonight tears tear her apart as the haunting ghost

Of happy ignorance nailed her in the coffin of grief
