Apr 2013
Haughty eyes bestow a daunting glare,
dismissing true beauty.
Their muffled conversations
reverberate inside my prism.  
Carcasses lie in a stiffened, upright position,
indicating everlasting submission.
My future is bleak; my past stalks me from behind.
Am I not a righteous soul?
Have I desecrated my body; your body?
Have I defecated on the holy scriptures?
Oh, what do I know?
I’m just a fly stuck in a window….
At work the other day I noticed a large, lonely fly trapped in the window.  My coworkers wanted me to **** it, but instead of doing so, I freed it.  It is my belief that all living creatures deserve an equal chance at life.
