The Ugly Duck

The Ugly Duck

A Poem by Anti Phalanx

Amps are speaking,
Pumps are squeaking.
There's no one on this hill,
I can't collect my fill.

I'm willing.
I'm tilling.

Sat In a crooked nook,
With nowhere to look.
Like a baritone shrill,
Invisible will.

I'm caught on a sharp hook.
I'm caught in a shallow brook.

Sat in a stiff chair of oaken,
Discomforted and unspoken.
Like a cathartic drill,
Escaping a chill.

I'd broken.
Not awoken. 
Not escaped,
But apathy raped.

Something did shook,
What principles took.
But would anyone cook,
The ugly duck?

Author's Note

Anti Phalanx
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” ― Epicurus
