Leper Colony

Leper Colony

Depravity, feral traits

- line drawn in the dirt

Dense unconscious streams,

it seems - line drawn in the dirt

Our inconsistencies

in singling out the human

Line drawn in the dirt

Smack us senseless through a lens

- least for the lesser

Burden's fit for scabrous waifs

- least for the lesser

Let the unsophisticated go unheard.

Least for the lesser

Line drawn in the dirt

Least for the lesser

Sweep back to the recesses

of furthest thought

Recoil and blank out the atrocities

meted out

Disembodied, disenfranchised

- introverted understatements.

Relax in the sheltered neutrality

of furthest thought

As observers we trivialize the

cruelty meted out

Line drawn in the dirt
