From the Hans Christian Andersen's "Ugly Ducking"
to Larry Chamberlin Godfather Almighty... and his utterly spoilt proverbial "Gorgeous Duckling".
~~
O little Orphan boy, little orphan boy
you do not need to hide your heart in your chest anymore.
These phantoms that stage as friends, patrons, people,
are no more.
They never existed as anything but stop signs.
Now your chest
are not trapped in the congested air,
of the recurring nightmare
of ganging up
against the truth
and shunning the truthful.
Now you are free at last.
Now you do not need to help
those who do not know the extends of their freedoms
are the lengths of their chains,
corroding
on the mirror of their eyes, their visions,
their norms.
How could they ever be fair,
something that they haven't even known
they never learned
in the curling court yards
crawling for deals?
They are blind about justice, clueless, bias
jammed in the traffics of transactions
though they rule, they judge,
they defend unfair.
::
O little Orphan boy, little orphan boy
you are dead now.
No one could get you no more,
it is fruitless anymore
to frame you, ignore your rights, your words.
Now your nothingness is such clarity
that could not be opaqued
or reached by any stains of substance
Now amidst these jagged fangs
equal like the scales of justice,
you’ve reached the quintessence of fair,
THE form,
unsubstantiated,
shapes beyond reason,
silhouettes that have no choice
but emerging through the graphite
of every word, every ink, every poetry
even if their own are ignored.
