Ghosts that linger in that alley
skeletons of a shameful prose
what was it you said-
made it out to be a farce
and laugh into their faces
black-listed
back-lash
not a battered-eyelid
what did you expect?
golden keys-
ribbons
medals
pinned upon your breast
ignorance
you close your eyes,
and think the rest of us
would too?
-or did you
shameful
pen poised
leaden with poison
with what audacity-
did you dare?
strewn in gutters-
lies
and all the while
the stench
building
plant your violets
and think they would
sweeten your air-
only the blind don't see
remember
the deaf don't hear
the mute without word
but all-
feel
callous
thick skinned
venomous tongue
I am ashamed-
your breath still fills
your empty shell
a beat pounds in your chest
