Chastising Words Of A Solitary Beggar by Writertainer: 4:34pm On Feb 01, 2017
Fate has decided
True! For solely on this corner I sit
If mourns were trailers,
Mine left first in the morning
Long before others were awake
Thus first at heaven’s gate
But lo!
Not a whisper came by
As a true and comforting reply

Behold, I philosophize
Because my solitary mind reasoned
And rejected what folks settled for as wisdom
I, alone seem to swim
In this ocean of reason and reality, knowledge and wisdom
I am a good swimmer
But I claim not monopoly
Over the things in my mind
For my mouth is tempted dumb but I must speak
The enemy to man is man
An invitation to death
And standing ovation it got at its advent on earth
It breeds greed and the canticles of malice.

Oh! My spirit
Do not put water in my mouth
For Pete’s sake allow prophecy to prevail.
I was born crippled
A natural condemnation at birth
My mouth is thirsty
But I find no water to drink
My peace is true peace
Because long ago
I accepted fate’s nightmarish decision as reality
But I ask!
What’s in the heart makes evil a guest?
An arrow aimed at a friend’s back
Look back!
A friend’s dagger ‘bout to stab you

Hahahahahahaha!
I laugh out loud
For pretense thrives
When a man kills a friend
And he cries on his death bed.
Put your eyes in the water
Ensure vividness
Cos’ the most with dreaded poison
Is delivered with a cherubic smile
The volume of the earth
Filled to the brim by deceit
I walk this wilderness alone in joy
Better I experience neglect than deceit

What makes a brother kill his blood?
My ear tingles but my mouth is bold.
I do not seek vengeance
But blood is revenge
Cos’ it intoxicates illusively
And it clears upon destruction.
Why struggle for the property of the dead?
For what belongs to the dead is of the spirit
And if inherited breeds death if mingles with strife

What makes a man sleep with his daughter?
Heaven-in-council heard and adjourned
I wonder what sprouts this seed of evil
From hell, are there more in stock?
For incest is rampant
Bloods sleeps blood
An abomination, aberration and desecration to life
Incestuous life is evil-lordly.

What makes a lady return true love with pretense?
With an eye, ready to squander
Like a madman grasping at
Anything within reach
The pedigree of true love is dented
In my mind’s eye,
When a lass says I love you
I see a squander maniac
For our generation has made her so!

Night calls
My eyes long to close
Preserve my words
They are willing to please
For before parousia comes
At the leverage of righteousness
The exeunt of evil to let the light prevail
The words you heard is a proof that will nail you

“If thou would forsake me oh lord
The hope in my eyes would sleep”
