 Poems by T.J. Swisher

Scourged Virtue


irritation seethes from pores
  with vehemence frustration dominating the irises,
history has only provided a repeating reality
    of political driven tyranny,
knowledge is left untouched
to the self fulfilling prophecies of fame and fortune,
    cowardice is in detrimental demeaning
of authoritarian means,
  compromise and understanding are far fetching
to the rule of dictatorship,
  untouched by commoner rules
the goose is neglected
     with the gander held in royalty,

the sensation of being vexed crosses the taut skin
   standing on vertical ends of light brown,
virescent envy diverges around humility,
   genuine ethics give way
to devious egomaniacal being,

revelation is found in eradication
   of materialistic voracity,
extinction of avarice and birth of altruism.
