The Merchant of Disgust

The Merchant of Disgust

A Poem by Daniel Sutheran
"

To describe this would be detracting from its intended meaning.

"
You, whom do grotesque my inner being - 
allowing my nose to shrivel,
and likewise my everything else.

How, as an apparent human (only one of which
is vaguely represented on the outside), can
you go against your very creator,
disobedient to Earth and human and man -
and all their morals.

You, whom do plague our mind, heart, nerves,
vitals - all.

You, whom do grotesque our inner being - 
allowing our noses to shrivel,
and likewise our everything else.

You, who do uplift and excite over a
certain little girl, do denounce the
actions of her guard - yet
reciprocate and reproduce those,
in exact, to us, me; us.

You, who are not human; the human at least
has little sense, empathy, emotive connection.

You, whom do lie, wrong and mistreat unto us,
are a liar, you are wrong - you
are a monster.

A rather darkly decadent train of thought, Dan. But I happen to thrive on darkly decadent thoughts and appreciate it when I recognize them in kind.

Keep writing!
