"weakling" poems
In the digital l-and We l-ive in Mistakenly automatic One pointing at a chest of tools Eyes on i No soul can tell a part a weakling metal Robots robbing robbers rich T-error terrifying t-errorists Artist gods and goddesses Sharing platform to unleashed gifts Mint hue bubbles squeak Fizzy dizzy violet haze World head to toes spins Any day it spins coins in change A quiet girl is sinister Siren of mystery or future Robot is your mirror Peach chin with teeth filter No innocence and glitter litter Guilty until proven the latter A quiet girl a terrorist Error mouths terror twist Terrorist from the orient They hide in between every end Disguises they cover in Racist as problem solving Smile girl watch A fake smile and eyes Skin of steel so is her Heart made alloy How it blazes to the touch when heated Oh it bites fingertips as it's cold Hair resting on the curve of her spine A woman's hair only breaks if it tries to grow What she said Tell me if you can tell us a part Warning tears borne from her crooked eyes Robot and soul Terrorists from t-errorists No soul knows either Tattoos or memory shall identify you

Terror in a puzzle piece
My mother she had children five and four are dead and gone; While I, least worthy to survive, persist in living on. She looks at me, I must confess, sometimes with spite and bitterness. My mother is three-score and ten, while I am forty-three, You don't know how it hurts me when we go somewhere to tea, And people tell her on the sly we look like sisters, she and I. It hurts to see her secret glee; but most, because it's true. Sometimes I think she thinks that she looks younger of the two. Oh as I gently take her arm, how I would love to do her harm! For ever since I cam from school she put it in my head I was a weakling and a fool, a "born old maid" she said. "You'll always stay at home," sighed she, "and keep your Mother company." Oh pity is a bitter brew; I've drunk it to the lees; For there is little else to do but do my best to please: My life has been so little worth I curse the hour she gave me birth. I curse the hour she gave me breath, who never wished me wife; My happiest day will be the death of her who gave me life; I hate her for the life she gave: I hope to dance upon her grave. She wearing roses in her hat; I wince to hear her say: "Poor Alice this, poor Alice that," she drains my joy away. It seems to brace her up that she can pity, pity, pity me. You'll see us walking in the street, with careful step and slow; And people often say: "How sweet!" as arm in arm we go. Like chums we never are apart - yet oh the hatred in my heart! My chest is weak, and I might be (O God!) the first to go. For her what triumph that would be - she thinks of it, I know. To outlive all her kith and kin - how she would glow beneath her skin! She says she will not make her Will, until she takes to bed; She little thinks if thoughts could **** to-morrow she'd be dead. . . . "Please come to breakfast, Mother dear; Your coffee will be cold I fear."

When I was a little boy, say when I was six, my dad calls to me and he says: Come, boy – let’s sit in our courtyard; let’s sit below the stars and I’ll tell you a story. It’s been told long in our village, and passed on from wise fathers to growing sons. Long ago, goes the story Farmer Somu wanted his daughter Meena to marry the Strongest in the world and so he set out on a journey with his daughter to seek the World’s Strongest One And what were they going to do, little boy? says my father to me. They are going to look for the Strongest One, I say; and my father says: Ah, you clever son of a clever man. And when they walked past the rice fields they saw farmers wiping their brows and they said: ‘My, how strong the sun shines!’ ‘Aha,’ said Somu, ‘I think I’ve found the Strongest One. Come, Meena,’ he said, ‘let’s talk to the Sun.’ *And what do you think, my little boy, what do you think Somu asked the Sun? And I say to my father: Oh Sun, Will you marry my daughter? And my father says, excitedly: Exactly! Exactly! Oh , you brilliant son of a brilliant man.* ‘Oh Sun, will you marry my daughter for she is the Prettiest and you are the Strongest?’ ‘But,’ said the Sun, ‘the cloud is stronger than I for have you not noticed how often the cloud blocks me out and I can’t do a thing until he decides to move?’ *And what do you think, my little boy, what do you think Somu replied to the Sun? Oh, you weakling Sun – I’m not even talking to you! comes my quick reply. And my father says: Oh how right you are – you clever son of a clever man!* ‘Weakling Sun stand out of my way and Oh you most powerful cloud – will you marry my daughter for she is Prettiest and you the Strongest?’ And the Cloud replied: ‘But ah, I am not the Strongest for the wind just blows me away!’ And what do you think, my clever boy, what do you think Somu did next? And I answer my dad: Well, dad - Farmer Somu drags his daughter Meena to the Wind. And my father says: Oh how right you are – you brilliant son of a brilliant man! ‘O Wind you should marry Meena who is Prettiest in the world as you are the Strongest.’ But the Wind replied: ‘Ah, you don’t know how Strong the mountain is for he blocks my way and he breaks me down.’ *And what do you think, my little boy, what do you think was Somu’s reply to the Wind? Oh, you useless Wind – I’m ashamed I even considered you! I reply. And my father says: Oh how right you are – you clever son of a clever man!* ‘Oh, you useless Wind – I’m ashamed I even considered you!’ said Farmer Somu and he dragged his daughter along to meet the mountain and he said to the mountain: ‘Most Honored Mountain I have heard of your strength and so I have brought you Meena who is the Prettiest.’ But the Mounatin replied: ‘Oh Sir, I am not deserving of such a rare beauty for the rat gnaws holes in my sides and so is Stronger than I.’ And what do you think, dear son, says my father to me – what do you think Somu does next? And I reply quite impatiently: Somu takes his daughter to the rat? Exactly! Exactly! shouts my dad. Exactly, you brainy son of a brainy man! And the Rat told Somu: ‘Alas, Sir though your daughter is most desirable I cannot marry her for the hyena is far stronger than me for he has eaten many of my family!’ And so they walk to the hyena, says my father to me. And what do you think Somu tells the hyena? And I reply: Oh hyena – marry my daughter for she is Prettiest and you are Strongest! And my father says: Oh you are right, boy! You are right – Oh you brilliant son of a brilliant man! ‘Sir Hyena Most Revered Sir Hyena do marry Meena for she is Prettiest and you the Strongest!’ And Sir hyena replied: ‘Ok. I ask for no dowry just leave her with me with no ceremony.’ And what do you think , asks my father, Somu did? And I reply: He left Meena with the hyena. And my father shouts excitedly: Oh, how right you are! How right you are! You clever child of a clever man. And no sooner had Somu left the hyena took Meena to his cave and he ate her all skin and bone… Ah what a tragic end; what a horrid end… *And dear son, says my father to me, what is the moral of this story? Many, I say. But two are: Use your wits and stay alive. Never allow yourself to be dragged around. And my father jumps up and he is excited: Oh how right! How right! You brilliant son of a brilliant father! And he turns to my mother who has joined us at the courtyard and he says: See how clever our son is – he knows all the answers! Such a brilliant son of a brilliant father! And my mother’s retort is swift: It’s not that he’s brilliant or you either. You’ve told him this story a hundred times, you silly man! And it’s always the same words! And I would have kicked my father if I were Meena!*

The Prettiest for the Strongest

Trusting steady for flower petals floating on moonlit beams. Fractured cracks running into sewn seams of honey-colored threads. Layering sunlight of emotions, Rip-tide oceans hold your boulder heart open. Velvety warm blankets shimmering with lavender energy, Of a silence unspoken. A roar within of a constant fiery flame. A warrior armored with stars and an army of willowy trees. Song buds upon lip, striking a symphonic flowery melody. Eyes sparkling, you captivate with an alluring smile. Flowers intertwined within your raven locks. Summer night of fireflies and dancing bees, Forgiveness never a weakling of knees. Soft spoken heart beats. Sun-fire but shaded with purpling blues. Steadying hands even though your lips may frown. Ever present is the sleepy shadow of a sugared temptation, That only the befallen will know. A darkness muddled into the after-hours of dawn. Self-pity wars that your feet danced into nothing, no more. You let the colors become vibrant yellows, even greens. A warrior surrounded by atmospheres of light, Tinged with the milky blue hue of night. Oceans come and gone but forever in your heart is song.

dependent, dependent, dependent. i hate to be dependent. it's something that shows weakness. it shows i can't defeat this. sorry, sorry, sorry. you tell me not to be sorry. even though i try my best. i never succeed, so i cannot rest. stupid, stupid, stupid. i feel like i am stupid. obviously i'm the least of all. no one cares when i take a fall. weakling, weakling, weakling. i am truly just a weakling. melting from your sweetest words. hoping my promises have been heard.

self-deprecation in three
After we used to call you piglet And after you liked celery, After the eighth of December at eight o'clock And after you were eight pounds eight ounces, They took a photo of when I first held you. You were crying your eyes out, Like your mum was in the living room After she found out, Before I scurried away. But you've grown up In your old *** Pistols t-shirts And your scribblings screenprinted onto new ones. Copper hair loyally trailing behind you, You glide around the house en pointe, In between embroidery at noon and fashion design after lunch. Too cool to have sushi at ten years old, And nearly too old To hug your big cousin without reluctance. Like an ordinary kid. Minding your know-it-all brother With his resounding echos of 'youknowwhatyouknowwhat' Making sure he doesn't burn a hole through the floor With his new chemistry set, that he won't admit He doesn't quite know how to use, But will continue on nevertheless. And you will roll your eyes. Like an ordinary kid. But your adenosine triphosphate, Can barely lift it's own molecular weight Nevermind the energy you ask it to carry. In comparison, the ordinary ATP Of your ordinary classmates, Is a strongman next to your weakling cluster of N, H, C and O. So you take your small grey spheres. And don't drink full fat milk And your father's taught you how to cook And value food. And use your nebuliser And clean and dust and sterilise So your glass lungs Which clatter when you cough Don't shatter. And after all that You twist your hair up in a bun And carry on. Not falling down the rabbit hole, But bounding gracefully. Like the extraordinary kid that you are, Alice.

Does she notice the four sugars, You sneak into your tea? What’s she like, this girl? The girl who isn’t me? She hasn’t even realised, The weird dent on your knee. Who even is this girl? The girl who isn’t me. It’s been more than a fortnight, Since you made me leave my key. Did you give it to the girl? The girl who isn’t me? She’s thinner, smart and cooler. No one can disagree. But can you learn to love, A girl who isn’t me? Your clothes are where you left them, in piles on the settee. That girl calls it a ‘sofa’. The girl who isn’t me. **** this, I’m getting wasted. One shot turns into three. I’m tempted to drunk text her. The girl who should be me. It’s not like I’ve been stalking Your profiles frantically. I just can’t believe you’re seeing A girl who isn’t me. Does she put up with your mood swings? When you’re loathing your degree? How can you stand to be with? A girl who isn’t me? Just answer this one question: What do you really see? In that wretched girl you’re dating? That girl who isn’t me? I must be going crazy. Who still writes poetry? I bet your girlfriend hates it. The girl who isn’t me. I’m keeping your new console, And your comfy blue hoodie. That’s what you get for kissing A girl who isn’t me. Maybe I’m just jealous? I think it’s clear to see. You clearly love your girl, Your girl who isn’t me. You told me all your secrets, Under that big oak tree. Can you trust this girl? This girl who isn’t me. You can’t, that’s why you grab her. Silence her every plea. You laugh and call her stupid. That’s what you did to me. I must have dodged a bullet. I know I’ve been set free. I hope she breaks your heart. The girl who isn’t me. I cannot be the girl, The girl I used to be. I guess that’s why you’re now with A girl who isn’t me. I see this as a blessing, It surely has to be. You’re now stuck with a girl, A girl who isn’t me. Your days, my friend, are numbered. You listening to me? ‘Cause I still know your secrets. And they’re not safe with me. The cuts, the bumps and bruises, I claimed I could not see. Does your girl have them too? The girl who isn’t me? I’ll do my best to save her. She’s too naïve to see, that you can’t control your temper, with a girl who isn’t me. I wear these scars like war paint, For all the world to see. They show how hard I fought, For that girl and for me. I did my best to save her. I tried to help her flee. But you damaged, hurt and ruined the girl who’s now like me. The creaking of your window. How cold your house must be? You’ll always have to live with, the girl who once was me. I hope this poem haunts you. I’ll never say sorry. That girl you called a weakling? That girl just isn’t me.

Accent of my deceiver, Scent of that liar, Something that I once acquired, Before despising the sight of her, Tail I tugged, Before you sliced me at the throat, Warmth of another’s bed, You are no longer plaguing my head, Feeding into the thoughts I bred, The fears I cultivated, Despite decades before my timely death, A weakling at one point in life, When a robber wields a knife, When a priest lays his hands upon a victim, Even the evangelical fall, Even the strong-willed think of letting their throat slouch, You are only human, I’m more than you’ll ever be! Take a seat boy Before I bury your skull, Beneath my heel and off my feet, I’ll be there to hold your hand, While your heart begins to cease, I’ll be there, when you can no longer speaking, As you stare towards the sky then to me, I’ll be there to keep eye contact, For you see the smirk, Smearing across my face, For you to feel my grip tightening, As your breathes continue fading, And right before you realize, Right before what lies ahead, Specifically for you, Is an eternal darkness, reserved for, The wickedest of souls, Oh how I yearn to watch you decay, Counting down the days, Till that moment when I’ll find you on the forest floor, before comforting you too insure you die alone, Payback for everything, We are all the victims, The guilty!

(ABLE) Acts of Lust or Endurance
The night is a deep well: stalks fall and echoes resound as if out of an abyss. Flash a lamp in, lose the light. Braveheart awake in the late hour, is there a solution to anything? Events unfold; Always unplanned. Reason an afterthought. Still we dream. Dreams dreamed all night, for a newer dawn. To achieve something, something that can make me more than you. Are you cut out for that yarn yard? Who decides when a weakling mortal breaks out of fatal space? Flash a lamp in, lose the light! Stalks fall and echoes resound as if out of an abyss. The night is a deep well.

That yarn yard
And your flashing teeth, And your beautiful lies Then hold me down and steal my breath, And keep me submissive, A weakling at best. Then leave me alone and rip me apart, While selling my soul And breaking my heart. And keep building me up and beating me back, And show me my faults, And be what I lack. But when white flags of truce Color our skies, I'll look down on you love, with contempt in my eyes.

First draw me in with your glinting eyes,
Perhaps the most positively uninteresting tragedy Is the story of flawed, impeded love. For whenever I venture, strive, endeavor— To exit my haven of solitary isolation I’m devoid of any bravery. Though I wish I could say “People scare me! I don’t want to be judged For things I cannot control, For transgressions and loves Methods, impairment, systems and failures Despicable lies and harrowing truths Cringeworthy trances and malicious propositions— That’s the reason I tragically fear you!" But such would be blatant lies. For I am not a reticent sheep, Not afraid of human, futile words It’s not any judgement or hate I despise It’s just that I can’t ever compromise I’m so terrified of judging Even in my mind The people of the world Precious brethren of my kind— I don’t wish to hurt a weakling Or a disgraceful abomination Thus, I’ll isolate from anyone For fear of impeding my love Of all alive, of everyone.

Impeded Love
My two weakling hands on my delusional head A face tattooed with tear lines of anguish and perplexity I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of this game Many are sea sick with zipped lips in this freezing old ship Precious dreams and lives; thrown overboard Let me plead one more time with this heartless captain We are charting upstream against the current, Sir Sir! Please sir Our lives and the lives of the next generation; In your hands Do you not care that we are perishing He has a big navigational map on the wall A gargantuan telescope in his hands Alas, he is blind Blind man will crush the blind into an iceberg He is distracted by his own personal greediness; Woe unto us, he is not far from a two hundred feet iceberg He reminds me of the titanic He has a crew who are not seas worthy They are wearing their office like they are on vacation The cry and the wisdom of the weak falls into deaf ears Sir, do you not care that we are perishing! Can you be my camera for a minute, Sir? Focus below deck, sir; Children without formal education The future generation is today’s labor engine They walk on the thin line of child... Child, what? Child slavery, Sir They are brain washed Manipulated and abused Zoom on the mid-deck, sir; The young jobless internet savvy A storm tossed creative thinkers A young generation with no future A future neglected without action plan Driven to push through the storm One direction; the wrong direction They are the masters of...

DEADLY VOYAGE
My two weakling hands on my delusional head A face tattooed with tear lines of anguish and perplexity I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of this game Many are sea sick with zipped lips in this freezing old ship Precious dreams and lives; thrown overboard Let me plead one more time with this heartless captain We are charting upstream against the current, Sir Sir! Please sir Our lives and the lives of the next generation; In your hands Do you not care that we are perishing He has a big navigational map on the wall A gargantuan telescope in his hands Alas, he is blind Blind man will crush the blind into an iceberg He is distracted by his own personal greediness; Woe unto us, he is not far from a two hundred feet iceberg He reminds me of the titanic He has a crew who are not seas worthy They are wearing their office like they are on vacation The cry and the wisdom of the weak falls into deaf ears Sir, do you not care that we are perishing! Can you be my camera for a minute, Sir? Focus below deck, sir; Children without formal education The future generation is today’s labor engine They walk on the thin line of child... Child, what? Child slavery, Sir They are brain washed Manipulated and abused Zoom on the mid-deck, sir; The young jobless internet savvy A storm tossed creative thinkers A young generation with no future A future neglected without action plan Driven to push through the storm One direction; the wrong direction They are the masters of... Masters of? Masters of internet fraud and drugs, Sir Gang banging is their security Just like a candle under the night wind; Their light goes off prematurely in lightning speed Zoom a little high on the upper deck, sir; Square pegs on rounded holes Mismanagement and embezzlement Unpatriotically obsessive creatures Fanning the toxic flames of an aged ship While expertise waste at the shore for decades Will you anchor?

I am not a weakling I am a fighter Those are not bruises Those are trials These are not cuts They're battle wounds That's not blood It's freedom I'm a Freedom Fighter   ~Corona Harris~

Freedom
I. I wear the stern face of my ancestors, the apron-clad Scandinavian matriarchs who built me from rock and bone. My husband, my good friends, my family, my colleagues all affectionately name me "intimidating." They say: "You're the strong one." "We'll send you to win the battle." "They should have known not to cross you." They name me fighter, mouthpiece, leader, and stand like tin men in legions at my back. I am obliged to march on; I cannot remember a time when my feet have rested. My banner waves in the northwest wind and I hold it, dutifully, fearing its inevitable fall as my arms shake. II. My arms shake. Wind camouflages this constant trembling: the fabric of my flag whips and ripples and any falter in its course is blamed on the wind, but veins shrink - skin shrivels - muscles shake - I am no Atlas, my breath slows sharpens stops - III. I am a dry sand-castle: one touch will obliterate me. I am the brittle leaf on concrete: one shoe will shred me. I am dandelion spores on a plain: one gust will erase me. IV. In my chest beats the soft heart of my ancestors, the ruddy-cheeked Scandinavian matriarchs who built me from soft earth and azaleas. So name me weakling, broken-down, dependent; give voice to all of me. Lift this banner, and give rest to my weary shoulders. Hold me in your arms when I need to collapse. V. At times, even a general must be carried by her soldiers.

though she be fierce, she is but fragile
Moses ran from Egypt. Into the wilderness. Turned aside to see a burning bush. God's Presence. Sandals removed. Holy ground. The call. Argued with God. "Send someone else. I'm a bad choice. I'm too scared. I can't talk. You don't know what You're doing, Lord." God's patience. Tried. By Moses. But still He was kind. "I will be with you, the entire time." How long was the gap? While God worked on the heart. Of Moses. Until... A trip to Egypt. A step back in time. "Let my people go." But Pharoah's heart was stubborn. New Moses. Shows courage. "Let my people go!" But Pharaoh says "No!" So... Plague after plague. Until a King's son lies dead. Pharaoh said "Go! And please...bless me." Exodus. Slaves set free. But Pharaoh changed his mind. Again. Egyptian army pursued them. Red Sea. Before. Enemies. Behind. Where is God? Are we going to die? Moses' staff. Stabs the sea. "Behold His mighty hand." There will be victory! God's people. In the middle of the waters. Running. Free. On dry land. With a wall of water to the right and left. At God's command. Hurry! Hurry! See Pharoah's army! God where are you? Are we going to die? Israelites. Safe on the other side. Egyptian enemies swallowed up. By the tide. Rejoice! God has set us free! Moses the warrior. Led God's people. Into the wilderness. Of God's Promise. Moses led. A stiff-necked people. And talked with God. Face to face. In a cloud. "Please have mercy on Your people," He prayed. Moses, once a weakling, became a warrior. For God's hand was upon him. Every step of the way. Until his face shone radiant. With God's glory. (edited)

Scream into the darkness Without a sound Weakling Powerless miscreant Buried by ash And trampled by a thousand footsteps A thunderous roar rips through the night My desire to reconnect is devoured By my craving for... Subterranean hedonism Exhausted from the surface I burrow into fantasies of sunken darkness I have tried to blend into the world But people continue to dissapoint me Bones ground to ash and thrown to the wind My last burials rites I had hoped it wouldn't come to this But there is no hope...there is only me

Subterranean Hedonism
I want to cut. I yearn to smell that metallic scent of blood. Feel smooth crimson droplets roll down my wrists. Watch them fall to the floor, into a puddle. Into the puddle diluted with my salty tears. Weakling. Can't you even take this much pain? Biting on my lip, I press the razor down even more, still crying. The blood flow increases to an ooze. A thin stream of blood flowing down my pale wrists. I feel free, I feel like I'm in control. Only I can hurt myself. LIES I'll never be the only one to hurt myself. Other people still will. I no longer want to stick around to get hurt. I want to move on the other side, to whatever may be waiting for me. It would only be too easy I want to sink into oblivion. One day I will. That day is today

What are these scars worth? These dark purple lines. Can I show you them, And be an inspiration? Can I cover them, And be a coward? What if I darken them? Will that make me insane? Oh and if I cross bridges, Instead of going up stream, That makes me a fake. A liar. An attention ***** An emo. A weakling. Well look at you. You must be very strong. Very impossibly strong. Or maybe you just weren't caught in a battle, Because your blown up head couldn't make it out of the castle.

I LIE IN THE BOTTOMLESS PIT OF BITTERNESS What have I done to life That it kills me even though I lie Down in the bottomless pit of bitterness I am ****** down to the barest state of anarchy Too choking and breathless, I can’t talk Catatonic, I stand in dumb Severe as I lay in me numb I can’t wish to have life within me I only choose to let go of it If it will let me, leave me! Leave me! Leave me! Life For I hate you and everything in you I am a genius, always eager to go along You are too jealous of me And capture me in your wicked web of limbo That I may suffer and strip away like straw Waiting to be burnt for the cloud smoke I barely uphold my breath and strength As tears and mucus mixed at my chin All streaming down to my mouth Am sick and tired of wiping My weakling hand also tired of wiping I’ll only let the constituent enter my mouth Or pass down the earth What have I done to life That it kills me even though I lie Down in the bottomless pit of bitterness Rolling in painful rub of suffering Dejection and rejection am screaming! And sobbing as I struggle to doddle out Of the brutality of life Leave me; let me go for am tired To be thrown, tried even tired of tossed Who shall set me free, who shall deliver me? Can you hear my cry? Help me! for I am drawing into the boiling ocean of life

"Don't make me give in, I have to stand strong I am not a weakling" "Being a woman succumbing to the passion instilled by a man makes you beautiful not a weakling" **His hand roams over my body, across my *** which proves my bodies's betrayal, the moisture felt by His fingers** **He brings the fingers to his lips and begins to **** on them each sound sends waves of volcanic heat through me** Body so hot, whimpering my begging to stop becomes begging not to stop "Please don't stop, oh pleaassee!"

I'd get off the bus after school and down the lane he would come. He'd run round me in circles, barking. My very best friend; my Chum.             ~~~~~~~~~~~~ He was the youngest of the litter, the smallest by over a head. Dad looked at him critically saying "Son. He'll soon be dead." But as I held that puppy I saw a fire in his eyes. So I said, "Please Dad. Let me keep him. I'll make sure that he survives." So I nursed him, and cared for him, Fed him crumb by crumb, and all the time I cried to him "Please don't die on me Chum." After many long weeks of nursing Chum was coming on fine. He was now feeding himself and his coat had begun to shine. By the time school holidays were over I knew my dad had been wrong, for gone was the puny weakling. Chum was now healthy and strong.             ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'd get off the bus after school and down the lane he would come. He'd run round me in circles, barking My very best friend; my Chum             ~~~~~~~~~~~~ But one day I got off the bus and Chum just wasn't there. I raced home and ran to my mother, "Have you seen Chum anywhere?" No one knew where he was, I raced outside calling his name, but since he hadn't met the bus I feared I was calling in vain. I wandered all over our farm looking for my faithful dog till by the creek where he'd saved me from drowning I found him trapped under a log His poor front leg was broken. Flesh cut down to the bone, but he didn't even whimper as I gently carried him home. With lots of loving care Chum was quickly on the mend. His eyes seemed to be telling me that I had made a life long friend.             ~~~~~~~~~~~~ He was soon at the bus stop again. Yes, down the lane he would come. He'd run round me in circles, barking. My very best friend; my Chum.             ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Then I left school and took up a job, I'd been away for almost a year. On the bus my thoughts were on Chum as the hills of home drew near I worried if he would remember me, if he'd remember how we used to play. If he'd remember how I'd cared for him, and how he'd wait for me every day.             ~~~~~~~~~~~~ My heart leapt as I got off the bus, for down the lane he did come. He ran round me in circles, barking, then sank his teeth in my ***

The fact that I am inferior Is etched into my brain A weakling in this world, Just a speck of dust on the windowpane The other girls beauty Radiates farther And the intensity of their Bleached white teeth Outshine my metal mouth It's like the how the colors of fall leaves Attract many But no one enjoys The simple green chlorophyll Inside their spring and summer veins.

They build tall towers around my neglected home, Filling my weakened heart with jealousy and pain. All they want is respect, the power of muscle and money. The empty huge structures will host thousands, For ages of birth and deaths, far away from the human world. While in the human forms their minds are stone They can not feel or think of any human weakling. When free from the human case, they are specialists, Mechanically repeating lives of existential happiness. Who puts them on top, stamping on our human race? Gods, Humans or Stones?
