Mortal

the world is not so happy with Me.
I've become a Disgrace,
not worthy to be a Scapegoat, the butt of
The Joke.
through I am Broken, and
I am tired
they are not satisfied.
what will It take?
a Dance to their communist drums
smacked with
Bare Black
hands. The swish against the taut animal Hide.
bab bum swiift... ta dum swiish...
carnal song projected through
rough throats
from inside wild hearts
carfully timed and ad libbed
Truth bursts forth
my feet are
Bare. Black
bruises mottle my heels and toes.
my pace slows
but they are still not happy
I am tired.
