The Set Back (Free verse) by horus8
I don't want to look at you anymore
Your face reminds me of too much hatred
Forces me to listen to the screaming of the past
The slamming doors of the present
The polished coffins of the future
So I'd prefer not to gaze upon you again.
I cannot listen to your double negatives anymore
Your voice has the texture of a thousand prisoners
Fighting and killing in the rapture of fear
and childhood confusion
The lack of compassion
The failure to admit guilt
The return to the womb of abandonment
Therefore, silence has become my modicum
So, keep your demented comments to yourself.
Why make a child, just because your cock throbs
When your nipples get hard is that proof
that you deserve a child
The children grown of lust
have gathered at the gallows
Moreover, I too, am there
With my big silver whistle
Poised to organize this chaos
Using sharp piercing cries.
"Line them up, (I say)
I want to get a better look at this sick
collection of fuck-ups.
These political parasites
These foster parent cocaine smokers
These greedy defilers of all that's humane
The cream of the system
Hand salute
Now break all of their necks
on the count of three.
Who's with me!".
My mother was instantly at my toes
My father sat saddled upon her back
All of our ancestors were chain ganged behind them
with sharpened scythes drooping. She said,
"If you kill us now you will also cease to exist".
I smiled my worries bright like an
obese advertisement on the side of the free-way,
and motioned for a continuance.
"We are all here today to witness
The release of self pity
The burial of doubt,
and the cremation of the reactive mind
I would like everyone to return to his or
her homes, and ritualistically remove and discard
any shoe boxed letters or picture that has captured
the past within its contents,
and put a match to them, amen.".
"Long live the future and may we have
the opportunity to share her bed for eternity.
Never growing old and always possessing the option
of thumb sucking and hermitage if need be,
Hallelujah.".
Get over it, then get over you.
