NAME GAME

NAME GAME

A Poem by Butch Decatoria

I want you to understand my name,
the robes of rude electric activities
were once made to fit my
curves and canvasses 
when i use to paint them 
perspiration / desperate / commotions
all mixed in a soup
of sensuous satiation...

I once I had hands so clever
with ingenuity and imagination,
i held nothing, really
but the naked mute
holding nothing 
just palms lined with psalms' 
life lines and predictions
many unable to read
or feel akin...
predictable and gullible
are we not made 
to change?
In the lion's pit Daniel learned 
swift and well
the name of the game is
Live to Tell,
we create our own designs
and belief
and even our own hell...

I want to you to know my name
when I name one angel : "wisdom"
and one skeleton : "shame"

know me well
I forget yours all the same,
once i was the victim
and now the Lion's Mane...
One angel :  "wisdom"
One Skeleton :  "shame"
