A Crying Shame

entry picture

 

Shame - the greatest shambles; a sham

sex and guilt, beauty and modesty; molest

pitted in the stomach like acid,

spat swallowed pity, feeding starvation, an unquenchable famish, unsensibly sore

malnourished habits die hard, and lonely, resentfully

twisting and turning and diving, deprived

 

Lies for eyes, for ears and the nose; twitch

flies on the flesh of festering fetishes; groan

acts of quivering petulance, stigmatised stamen, hanging

their heads, sacriligious defacatory defacement, debase

irreligious Gomarraderie, singeing flames tinged the virgin’s shame

twisting and turning and diving, depraved

 

Tradition, violation, coercion; lust

repressed, aggressed, regressed; pornography

abrasive, the shame, crying shame, the tears

thoughts that pierce then burrow deep, penetrate and painful,

mischief and menace, self destructive impulsing

twisting and turning and diving and shameful.

Might make sense to you
but well above my comprehension level.
Try dumbing it down to appeal to the masses
No offence meant. You can rubbish mine as much as you like. Ken.
