Like a king who lived in darkness
He failed to shine his crown with dreams
Of attending prom dressed in a ball gown
"He's just a bitch"
And though it hurts with every laugh
Animals still stick their necks out
Like hungry giraffes
To vomit in the occupied stall
As if he were a harlot
With a sick fetish
Coiling stench of a full grown circumcision
In which he'd relish
And these days, instinct must stay in your head.
Our conscience is not our conscience,
just a mindfuck risen from the dead...
"God himself doesn't even know how
to make a man!"
Says the street preacher
With a homemade bible in his hand
He calls himself a healer
With the condescending essence
Of a political figure
Worshiping such a holy quandary
Like ignorance to androgyny

Willie Nelson is a secret faggot? (And here I thought that was just an illegal wrestling move!)
Ignorance is an unyielding task master.
hm - i think they don't need to be prom dressed in a ball gown...but at least be nicely showered before they enter the holy halls...smiles - ok seriously...i may never get this fully as a woman but you clearly hit powerful chords with this (if i get it correctly) you have a strong writing voice anthony
Anthony, another powerful write. Nice!
Yep ignorance in most you can find
Of the ones saying oh such great words from their mind
Yet behind closed doors they spurt different stuff
Like a tattoo of a closet faggot in the buff..lol
Like ignorance to androgyny, you say it all in your final line, and boy does Willie need a shave hahahaa excuse the pun...but I couldn't resist!
and ignorance lives on in school halls and church pews much as it does most any old place...nice in your face with this anthony...
That is some image you've got there, Anthony - and such a truthful piece that follows in its wake. Ignorance...it knows no bounds...
oh, yes. love that last line. sing it sister! ;)
Or they stick their heads in the sand - ignorance at its best
Excellent Anthony
Anthony, the best part of this poem starts at "God himself..." and ends with "...androgyny." That portion is just brilliant. I hope you extract that portion and work the thought through to its conclusion. With it you have the makings of a brilliant poem.
Anthony....
You do Michigan very proud My Friend!
Well you don't hide in your poetry do you? Provocative.
Very powerful stuff here. What a great write!
A very powerful, provocative piece. Well done.
The words, the lines are powerful. I didn't expect it to take the turn it did -- but it fit.
Anthony Another Very Powerful Write! The images that are delivered by your work always amazes me
Anthony this is really powerful and full of emotion. You have a true gift.
Superb. A brilliant write.
Anna :o]
So much suffering comes from worship of ignorance... you have given voice to the pain of many here. Kudos.
Great write on ignorance as the true illness of man...the time wasted at being right, proving the unproveable.....I am a day off...so sorry I am late at posting and reading....bkm
Ignorance is the mother (pun?!) of all nonsense..really! Sexual orientation is just another excuse.. whew!!
Superbly written, Anthony ... powerful as ever!!
I agree with Emmett here. I really got a kick out of the street preacher image. Good work! :D
