[hometext] => I love the Batman stories and the will of a wounded man to transform his rage into a power for good through focus and sacrifice. Here's my take on the man and the bat.....
[bodytext] =>  Murdered Parents and Crying Boy 1977 enamel on board: Richard (Dick) Frizzell My life resembles the manor grounds, With facades and levels and dark surrounds And deep within its central stage, A hollow place consumed with rage I am the loss, And I am the pain, Who was the child..... Kneeling in the ruins of my dying life On darkened street I met my fears, Shed innocence, and bitter tears Wealth and privilege are for naught, When what you crave cannot be bought I am the weak, And I am the helpless, Who was the broken youth..... Sobbing over the graves of my dead parents My sleep was always laced with dreams, nightmares rent by mother's screams So I taught myself to meditate, And sought a focus for my hate I am the bitterness And I am the anger Who became the pupil..... Guided by the hands of monsters I forged my body into steel, And broke my pain on mission's wheel Then cloaked my rage in cape and cowl, And chose a battlefield in which to prowl I am the wraith And I am revenge Who is the punisher..... Standing over the broken bodies of my enemy The city is my hunting ground, The darkness is the place I'm bound The red of blood and the black of night Colour my nocturnal fight. I am the beast, And I am the man, Who is a contradiction..... Contemplating the return of his demons The anniversary of two senseless acts, Rousing all the memory bats For you my parents, a single rose Reaffirming the path I chose I am the good son, And I am the divided soul Who will revenge the fallen..... Driven on by a promise unbroken.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
