    F*cked Up

    Troubled?

    Why yes,

    I am.

    The bitter taste of human evolution,

    stabs me with convulsive anxiety.

    The trap they set for my soul --

    readied to cower like a cornered fox.

    Each day is a new wound.

    Each day is more of my martyred blood.



    Disturbed?

    Why yes,

    I am.

    Can't you feel it?

    The silence?

    The noise?

    The stir in the air?

    I can hear the banshee mourning for my murdered consience.

    Oh Thoth,

    do you have any more parlor tricks to quicken me once more?



    F*cked up?

    Aren't we all?

    Great poem. The angst is palpable and your ending is pure sin.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
