trials of cyclops

by Gray

[WVox Sponsor]

Age Group: Adult



The dream of the child lives on inside.
Compelling the personality to seek and hide.
While teachers and parents, hell bent on to conformation,
The fire flickers on by dreams and imagination.
The words are there, with insight unseen.
Meantime, punishments are handed out, obscene.
Needlessly, the idiots whip away the smiles.
The fire flickers on in accompaniment with straps and trials.
Head hanging down, the cyclops prays.
To gods and things unheard of, in day.
The words and strikings come unbidden.
And the fire flickers on with mysteries still hidden.
The abuse of the body, mutilated and scarified.
Coupled, with the switchblade sentences, to make it cry.
And while the cyclops looks down, and wonders at itself.
The fire flickers on amongst the cry for help.
The cyclops wonders why, and, what's wrong with me?
I know I'm okay, but I can't make them see.
All of the feelings I know in me, the calling I hear.
A fire flickers on amid the desire and fear.
