DeadlyA Poem by Nadia ZahranEncompassing your irreverent actuality with something so pure So clear cut Complex only by what is misunderstood Misinterpreted by fallacies of falsehoods Falsehoods stemming from brotherhoods So unbrotherly the way these brotherhoods operate So unholy the way you seem to justify these tyrants Tyrannical in your speech Nonplussed by ignorance Ignorance that cuts into your skin Penetrates deeper than one should Much deeper than you should As your clammy hands and jaundiced cheeks approach me I am in your rapture Not quite enough to totally encompass me Dead end
Rotting away is your peachy smile Decomposing-it’s been there for a while Blue toenails chipping away Eating away at what was once art What once I could tear apart- Too complex to whiten your smile Too tattered to formulate anything real So unreal © 2017 Nadia Zahran |
