Broken Thoughts of a MisanthropistA Poem by Brian CsatiThrough the keyhole I saw you stare, With a cataract eye, Your gaze was unaware. The possibility of a deformity, And a callused herd conformity. Do take with you a shallow dream, Of an ugly, impotent deity, Who had made the image of you, With broken limbs and a shattered wrist. Do you wish? Once upon a lie, You once denied the earth. It whispered to me through false teeth, A swollen mouth, and split lips. Accept your gift with a granted wish, As the fatal touch meets a lethal kiss. Through the keyhole, You were unaware. Of a cataract vision in a world of despair. © 2015 Brian Csati |
