[hometext] => A tale in the style of Frankenstein's Monster or The Hunchback of Notredame. The outer shell of a creature cannoot be judged.
[bodytext] => Misting rain, but the sky is blue It's a common storm that I hold true Hobbling along as I walk As I move I hear them talk "He's the man with the disfigured face" They study my walk, they watch my pace My intention is not to harm anyone But their burning stares are hot like sun Anger, Anguish, Hatred, Suffering Torchbearers, delicately blind They want me dead, they want my mind Torchbearers, but what am I? Who am I? Where is my master? I am like any rose, my petals can be torn And as they tear my innards become worn Do not blame me for how I look It's what is written in the book Blame my God, blame him twice Do not bend to make this sacrifice Aim your firearms to the sky Be sure it is he who dies Treat me like an alien, a foreign lifeform I will grow pricks, bleed my thorns Remember my corpse and how I died Maybe this fairytale will teach you to survive [comments] => 1 [counter] => 149 [topic] => 8 [informant] => spellofnature [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AmericanTragedy )
