Poking A Peaceful Lion With A Stick

-Poking A Peaceful Lion With A Stick-
by Keaton Foster



Here I sit, I am certainly not a pile of shit
Of course, I know that such a comment
Is debatable at best.

I am flesh and blood, meat galore
Crooked bones held up straight
Quite the toxic stew that no one
Wants anything to do with.

I am handsome of the outside
And very ugly on the inside
Tolerable to no one
I feel like a feeble whore
Used and well abused.

Affection at any price
And my God, have I paid in full
My needs must be met
Such and itch burns
If not scratched.

My words are my own
I did not create them
But I am always sure to enslave them
I make my point the best that I can
Then like a fool, I often go one-step too far.

Beyond the mundane
Beyond the ideals of those
Who are running this zoo
Full of creatures with signs
Around their necks that say
Please do not feed or molest the animals.

I am always doing what
I feel most would never do
Is it my purpose when there is none
I claim it as my own truth
What right do I have
Absolutely not one.

I feel like I am
Poking a peaceful lion with a stick
Sooner or later, he is gonna get quite upset
And on that day I am sure that I will
Face the end of all that I know
And all that I feel I must do.

But like any man with no sense
Predation is something
That only happens to others
Plus who and the hell would want eat me
Quite disgusting indeed.

I will continue to do as is
The truth that I am always expressing
Is dressed in the pompous ways
In which I have learned to express.

No secrets do I dare keep
Like cordwood stacked with precision
Waiting to be sent off to be obliterated
By those holding the fuel and the flame.

Burnt for warmth and sacrificed for comfort
Destroyed in the hopes to forget things
That I cannot bear to remember
Ashes on the winds of a past
That refuses to lend me any peace.

I will keep poking a peaceful lion with a stick
It is just my thing, my way to survive
I am sure that it makes not even
The slightest bit of sense
To those on the outside looking in.

To them I must confess
I have yet to find a way
To give a damn what they think
After all such ridiculousness is
About me, not them…
