the monolith

the monolith

A Poem by Scott Troy

shock an awe
a rebirth 
torn in the maw
a beast
fetid and forelorn
savage the name
bitter the tear
a holy bastion
dear saint teresa
a random number
picked in a sea of turbidity
a marrtyr of thieves
pray for me sir
a sinner
father
b*****d
mix my ashes in your communion
a judas 
proclaimer of anti faith
lost child
held against grain
a caustic saint 
yearning for fame
naught that i 
lonely an forelorn 
in this sea of chaos 
that is what i 
what anyone 
would call 
an existence
torn assunder 
frayed
lacking luster
subtle substance
portrayed as shining an endearing
yet blunt
bitter an yearning
true quicksilver to the heart
sanguine
carpal tunnel visions
i never disregarded my strength
ive only realized it when pushed
to the very limits
the worst life shows you
prepares you for 
all the possibilities
life has in store
there is always so much more
sono sempre stato forte
la mia volonta non conosce fine
