...no soul

 ...no soul
~
Poor lonely school boy.
No friends...no laughter;
Nothing to trade.
Caloric obsession.
Nike assassins...ridicule...torment.
Silver spooned bullies
Courageous in numbers.
Surrender... survival.
Psychosocial mneumonic.
A heart wrapped in thorns.
Suicidal temptation.
~
Poor lonely bastard.
No praise...no laughter;
No one to play with.
"You're stupid...you're fat!"
Kittys head doesn't swivel;
And now mommies angry...
Say a prayer just for kitty.
Closet reprisals...
Dark and familiar.
Gods grace concealed.
Daddys got a gun...somewhere.
~
Workplace incompetent
...menial duties;
No goals...no laughter;
No talking.
Misanthrope posture;
Chocolate bar lunches;
Absence, denials...
Lies and excuses.
Disturbing rebellion...
Microwave concoction;
Rodent detonation.
Swift termination.
~
Outcast acceptance.
Simian lifestyle...hygienic alien.
No esteem...no laughter.
No job...no one to love;
...no soul.
Ostracized deviant;
Immoral leper.
Wombed closet comfort...
Misogynist psyche.
Newspaper headlines
Clipped from the paper;
"WOMAN FOUND MURDERED"
...Mommies head doesn't swivel!
