By Tiger
Living as
a ghost in a world that is lively
Invisible to a society where I
do not belong
The world all around me superficial and bigoted
I
tarry not into the mass of ignorant humans
For I feel no need to
be tormented and dejected
Living as
a ghost and feeling endlessly intangible
Invisible scars within me
nobody will ever see
The world oblivious to the great terror that
fuels my psyche
I carry not a defense to the cruelty I see every
day
For I do not wish to be blind to the great hate in the world
Living as
a ghost and shrouded in illimitable enigma
Invisible to a world
that thinks I am someone else
The world is unforgiving, shallow,
and full of vanity
I parry not the movement to desecrate the
self-righteous
For I am an individualist with a heart not forged
of steel
Living as
a ghost and not wanting to invoke endless fear
Invisible dreams of
apocalyptic realities hidden in their minds
The world full of
ignorant bliss cannot stand inexhaustibly
I vary not in my belief
that most people are reprobate imbeciles
For they lack kindness
and seek only personal gain
Living as
a ghost in a parallel universe where no one can see me
Invisible
to the light spectrum of understanding and acquiescence
The world
lacks perspicaciousness of those who lack uniformity
I marry not
such an attitude of ignorance commingled with animosity
For they
are the ones who shall pay for their depravity
