Short Scapegoats Poems

Scapegoats are not about being facetious
Having a scapegoat is all about convienence
Hey greg
Hey greg
Come and jump on this grenade...

Ravens, clever birds,
but pointed as cursed scapegoats.
A black plumage and
a husky, rebellious voice
often inspire injustice.

skinned green trees
bleeding ghosts
fallen leaves
inner disquiet
unchartered journeys
love is an ocean
arent we scapegoats
following the footsteps
of fermented purple grapes
prisoners of intoxicated embrace
existential angst retrospections
naked honest introspections
i am kissing the painted 
red guitar from spruce
trees are speaking

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 pitch...

Yes we scheme with deceit
To fondle vain conceit


Yes we attempt our best
In vain our hollow fest


Yes we live messy lives
So full of empty strive


Yes we grasp like straw men
Linger on long lost trends


Yes we watch now in vain
Seek renewal in pain


Yes we value the game
Yet find scapegoats to blame


Yes our upsidedown world
Moves a desperate swirl

There was peace
without scapegoats.
It was a monopoly. A prelude to a kiss
of insanity. Unzipped between foibles
and forte lies the sanity.
The path will know the sex
sans flowers.

That was the outer side of
fence in the cattle shed, where
the panther had left the half-chewed
leg of a young girl. The naked
model denies the sanctity
and starts talking aloud about the
flying insects.

It was worthless
the travesty of truth. Everybody
wants a share in mining.
