Fraudulent Morality

I see you

Hiding behind lonely desperation of quiet sufferers

of my time.

I see you

Looking wary, dark and brooding

Weighing every cent of kindness thrown your way.

I see you

Counting luck like counting nightly stars

Abundant everywhere to each one but you.

I see you

Wishing this morning would leave you alone

As you stand by the doorway hating the isolation you chose.

I see you

Smiling secretly at passers-by who throw a glance your way

Some pleasant and dull

Few guilty and hurried

Most derisive and cold.

I see you

Dreaming of blood and green

Those sweaty summer days, slapping off mosquitos trying to live off of you

Just another day

The way you thought money could save your world.

I see you

Tolerate shame, hurt from indignation

Your agonizing screams of tears in the shower

Melting away with the soapy water

Unrecognized, unforgiving

The smear of blood never leaves your skin

No matter how hard you scrub, the smell and poverty remains.

I still see you

As your silent sorrowful posture draws me in.

I saw you

Shrinking, your breath stopped for a minute with mine

Suffocated and ashen

As the clock struck an ominous two.

 

I forgive you

For you know no better,

Born into the hollow blackness of human worth.
