oxy proxy moron...

becoming what we fight to ignore...

we all

become

what we loathe

abuser, user

two time loser

become our

mom

or our dad

use our fists 

when we're mad

how many

make that change

to rearrange

what we know

as strange

who cares

don't stare

or try to compare

we are

what we are

no loops

or hoops

we're all rotten fruit

in a bowl

not whole

in a still life painting

that no one

appreciates...

great truthful message. you're never scared to write the truth. is probably why you write so well. the words felt nice and round in my mouth. the rhymes worked very well. short, sharp and round all at once. and another brilliant ending

potent write here~ like a fist to the gut~

what you say is certainly true (it's a cultural disease and nightmare), but not the whole story; however, to see and say that much is half the distance to Zeno's house
