Sigh
The infra dig man-cue
For flowers of honour
Is not part of the deities I worship
II
Sigh
Bombastic preachers
Robed in cover of their leeched skin
Can’t make me sleep
No matter the soothing of their evoking lullabies
III
Sigh
Mouths which work in the dark
And mute in light
Can never move a muscle in my body
Why must hidden teeth robot my being?
IV
Sigh
Heavy duty machines of worry
Will never drag me into a failure lorry
Will I be the first and last to be sorry?
Definitely not
Life is no fixed time with a forever whip
V
If I am misunderstood
I would rather I am ‘overstood’
I did not bring me here
And will not take me from here
Life that brought me must give me death
