POEM TITLE: A CRY IN THE SHACKLES  OF HUMILATION

In the grotesque midst of annihilation;
and the gloomy comfort  of perfidious kins;
lies your immortalized bones in pearly frame.

From the squeaky wallow of sanctimonious peers;
and the treach’rous meander of scornful brothers,
stared your stellar soul in supernal rest.

Awaken! your afflictive anger Richard;
don’t just stare;
lest your children remain
hewers of woods in their land.
Spare not their Parochial belief;
for what is the fish without the waters?

Do your immortal soul perceive
the ugly fate of your household?
Only one now bears your name.
Would this earthly fraity
retain its grip on you?
Would this ethereal blindness,
hasten our inevitable death?

Before the surging waves of pestilence,
obliterate what is left of you;
before the rancorous rake of evil,
devours the carcass of our sullen stars;
lay awake from your celestial rest;
lest the debris of our flesh,
are fashioned as stones;
by this baleful builders.
