New HumiliationA Poem by RWRNew Humiliation Shall I write about humiliation? Spun out of control, Still reeling from a blow, Struck 40 years ago, Ticking, shaking, Shallow breath barely satisfies, the Ultimatum of burning lungs I can’t tell any face from any other, Surrounded by savages
~~~~~~~~~ Bold statements, that No one " including me " believes, Asking for help, Emergency within my mind, Frantic and despairing, High pitched version of my own voice, Alone in a comfortable room Rocking to and fro ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Someone is looking In mute derision, Palpable in his pausing Response via the safe distance of the wire I sense his gratitude, that He will soon hang up, Leave me alone Alone with this old, old madness This new humiliation © 2018 RWR |
