Tortured Einstein
A tortured Einstein in a world so benign
Where souls are diminished and pacifists sign
The malignant order of “We” man kind.
Eyes see the world in its pitiful state
The tears, the torrent, the putrid hate
His emotions prepare for their eminent fate
Twisted and tortured from the benevolent thoughts
of a world of bad deeds where emotion is lost
Shakes his head softly and considers their cost
Confused and conflicted, his head flies back,
Tears stain his face in a fierce attack
His thoughts are bleeding........ his body goes slack
And the stars cry for him with an empathy rare
It is oneness not loneliness, this warrior’s lair
He’s a concrete abstract, in a world void of flair
Slowly he picks his way through the masses
Of souls who claw at his face as he passes
He makes his way home... on his tears...and collapses
