Caste aside on sand so mean
Where fraud itself is seldom seen,
Where castigation hurled about
Results in scoring scars that route
The sensitive and gentle vein
Of acquiescence’s curtained pain,
Of acquiescence’s shadowed smile
Wherein the strands of shame defile.
Marshalg
In sand so mean.

Where fraud itself is seldom seen,
Where castigation hurled about
Results in scoring scars that route
The sensitive and gentle vein
Of acquiescence’s curtained pain,
Of acquiescence’s shadowed smile
Wherein the strands of shame defile.
