I don't wish to be impolite
But I'm utterly crushed
Tried to drown my sorrows
To escape from this exulansis
A diabolist a throwback on my
very existence
Seething with frustration
More than just in anger
I just cannot soften my stand
A fanfare ought to do it
Must accelerate my resolve
Got to get the mess out of this
I'm even better, see!
Adroit and ambidextrous
What's more, I have likeness of one
Why can't I be more human than just looks
Your protagonist seems sad and frustrated. This intriguing piece of writing makes me wish for a whole series of SF novels to elaborate on the poor fellow's dilemmas.
ReplyDeleteMore human than just looks...a good question to ask ourselves!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I think he should have bigger aspirations than being human. :)
ReplyDeleteLuv that Orang utan pic. Would make a nice 'teddy bear' toy too
ReplyDeleteI think frustration is the bitter taste in the mouths of so many these days, your is skillfully worded
much love
Thanks for linking to Monday WRites
ReplyDeleteMuch love...
In this piece I see a relentless desire to prove oneself, at war with fear that nothing the protagonist does will ever quite measure up.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Jungle book... and the Monkey song.

I certainly reconise those feelings Hank.
ReplyDeleteExcellent poem and good use of words.
Yvonne.
I think the orang's are perhaps better than people ~
ReplyDeleteI really love the question you left us with. Not having a way of expressing oneself in a constructive way is extremely difficult
ReplyDeletemlm
One might be better off not being human
ReplyDeleteYes, "more human than just looks" Definitely a question we need to ask ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if being human is that hot.
