Lyrical Laments - 3. Chapter 3 Fractures and Judgement
Lyrical Laments
Chapter 3 Fractures
Where once I saw beauty
Ugliness stands in stark relief
Where once I felt warmth
A chill has pushed it away
I rub swollen eyes
But the picture remains unchanged
Brutal reality
Slaps like a switch
On my most vulnerable organ
And fractures spread
As if through ruptured glass
Ugliness
Once seen
Can never be unseen
Judgement
If you don’t like it
Move
If you have a problem
Go back where you came from
Keep that stuff
Behind closed doors
We don’t want your kind here
We don’t respect your beliefs
Your religion
Your orientation
Your funny clothes
Your ways
It’s disgusting
Your freaky difference
Marriage isn’t meant for you
Sinners
You don’t fit here
Speak English for God’s sake
Take that stupid thing off your head
And stop dressing so weird
Men don’t lay with men
Women don’t lay with women
We must protect our race
Our children
Our moral fiber
If you’re not like us
You don’t fit in
You’re fat
You’re ugly
You’re stupid
You’re old
You’re wrong
Gimp
Faggot
Slut
Troll
Dyke
Retard
Trash
Pervert
N_____
Sound familiar?
Look in the mirror
Shame on you who preach hatred
Intolerance
Shame on you who preach exclusion
Superiority
Shame on you who want it all your way
Shame on you
Who would rebuke your fellow man
Shame on you
Who think you have that right
To judge others
Shame on you
Who lay blame at the wrong feet
Your lack of compassion
Has nothing to do with God
You distort scripture
You mock humanity
And it offends me
