" CONTEMPLATING CRUCIFIXION "

" CONTEMPLATING CRUCIFIXION "

In this, the blood of my discontent
I'm flogged, and left flailing
The flesh torn ,
From my back.......

Does not the hierarchy
Understand me
Or am I an idiot,
For when the thorny roses
Pierce my fortune
And my immediate ability
To provide,
Do I not rise up in stride
Or glide
On family laudits,
Am I a feather
Or a sheet of armor
Shall I vie
Or die
For, belief seems nary
To me now
Am I disabled
A beggars
Cow,
Or am I
My fathers
Son.......?

Tony Taylor   (Chicago)

T you've always been a deep Mamma Jamma, and here intelligence and brilliant poetry merges seamlessly, hey Dexter as a background image? How cool is that....yes the idea of someone questioning their beliefs and waiting for answers is so incredibly positive and reassuring to me, making it personal, having it touch your skin, that is real and inspiring.... you put so much passion and intelligence into a point of view....I had to read this poem 3 times to grasp it, and I have the attention span of a dead monk,so that is testament  to your ability to hold this cynical bastard reader  with syntax, that is magic... this is a flat out rocket ship of a write, very cool to read bro.
