Taedium SanctusA Poem by Sirajudin Matin
Lay me to rest, In his heroic feats, For I am overshadowed, Cast in sin, and solemnly forgotten. My motivation brought to light. My body left in dark. I spilled the blood of innocent, For what I thought was right. And this is all that’s left of me My chemical outcome, A Vile filth, the gutter swine For shinning I am not. Taedium was beckon word, As Sanctus is my house. A “pawn to all my church’s words,” The commoners should say But malice in my mace Made quick to hold the tongue. My death I know I swiftly met, For I had sought it out, Born so blind and ignorant, I fondly fit my mold, A Bigot to the blasphemous. I pit my spite against fair odds, A man who knew true light, His common name took many forms, For frivolous was his treaded path. They called him Lied, the cradles child, Demon, or the fallen angel. A man who’d met the deepest dark, The grim end of my church’s blade, His true name few should learn. An abomination he was marked, His bounty High and fat. © 2008 Sirajudin Matin |
