    Stained

    Blinding vision, the misery increases

    Scars embedded deep within

    Fury burns the flesh singeing

    To the third degree

    Unavoidable tyranny and malice

    Scorches the innocence

    Leaving a gray dust of ash…

    The burnt sacrifices of the day.


    Showers pour down to cleanse the carnage

    Leaving a monotone backdrop to intensify

    The solemn consequence of a paternal dictatorship

    Nowhere to hide, cowering amongst the debris

    Left behind in your salacious rant

    Those same rains that cleared your conscience

    Failed to reach me, as I stand here stained.


    Unsure of whether you do not see or choose not to...

    The insurmountable damage caused by such recklessness

    Amazing how easily you forget

    Terrified even to this day to get too close

    Fearing judgement from hypocritical eyes

    Preaching to me, yet your guilt of an even worse

    Offense shines through so transparently.

    This is very deep from an emotional standpoint and very vivid within the realm of imagery. It is very well written and I am sure it was hard to write on this topic if I have understood correctly what it is about. It takes a certain amount of bravery to share such events...but must be liberating to be able to express it so expertly. Thank you for sharing this...and may you be strong through whatever you must endure in this life.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
