Outed
One starry night a month ago
An umbilical fibre stubbed my toe
I chanced upon this cord pulled tight
Shiny and dancing yet very light
It came from a dark and handsome
Man whose talent is feted throughout the land
His words are revered in soft applause
But another abides behind his closed doors
Hiding behind a spurious mask which is sniffed at and sidelined, left-over and last
This foppish fool seeks only your eyes
And bathes in your favour and swims in his lies
His manufacture and propped up position
Allows our man to reveal his decision
To be seen in comparison with this dolt
Read the rest of the poem Show less
As brilliant, superior the winning colt
Our man has misjudged this closet door swinging
Open and creak like a canary singing
I write this amazed at the curious blend
Of deception and play to further his end
Allow the manman to fool his friend
His aim was to deliver an alias to aid his pride as
Wonder boy shines whenside by side
Why would he shovealter out to play
When he had already had his way
Is he frail and slivered from his prolific mass
Slowly engulfed by a noxious gas
Of praise and fete by fellow members
I’ve caught you out
And the friend, remembers
The strange development of the character tendered
That of no real description or gender
Just a photo of a flower by this sender
So transparent
Oh I give full points for trying
You aren’t being outed
But less of a genious needs to be touted
Where can you go
Unmasked and naked
You weren’t so clever
Nice try, my friend

""of god, witchdoctors, indian chiefs" Indian chiefs are not religious leaders. It could be construed as racist. She wants to retain the rhyme. Any suggestions?" -
