The accused

The accused

As of late this shit has been all consuming

Did I really have to take it this far?

He was wrong

But undoubtedly I may have been more wrong

I am now one apart of the sums of many

I never belonged before

And this project of fitting in is foreign in concept

And as insidious as sin

I dare to be a woman that I do not even know,

And have even less inclination to be associated with

The power

Did I do it all for the Power?

I did do it all for the power

Guarded and open concurrently

I chopped em’ all down like axes

Sharpened blades begging to behead

I am somehow the catalysts

Holding both life and death in the Palm of my grandmothers hands

And as I murder my subjects

They don’t even make a sound

In the mirror I see me blushing

-That my reflection even appears bemuses me still

And I wonder?

Would Christ even want me as I plead that I had to be avenged

The justified standing with the accused

Is it crazy?

Or am I?

I don’t have any answers

And I reckon that maybe he too needed something

And somehow my anger blinded me to see all of that

I was hurt

But surely he must have been also

And along lying there in a river full of other emotions,

Surely hurt and pain must’ve been among them

I wasn’t too generous

I never am when I am wounded

I inflicted pain, and then I sat there licking my own wounds

“Salty…”

And even now I have yet to realize that this accident is all scattered debris

From my reckless endangerment

Saying that “I love you”

But never really meaning it, because I was confused

Needing so much to fill that emptiness that when I am more than lucid

I swear doesn’t exists.

But I and God knows that it does

And maybe so does all of my innocent bystanders

Two brazen images, and I am born

And I can only image who I must be.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
