Pariah


Outcast pitiless pariah crawling on my knees, beating my breast moaning " mea culpa." The crowd would love that- a spectacle. ( or if not love, tolerate.) But no, instead I'll climb to the highest pinnacle and cry, Freedom! Waving the flag that is my poetry proud, defiant, not loved not even tolerated.
