Dark imitation of Dr. Suess.

Sex hormones – estrogen and testosterone – affect skeletal growth.

Nothing is borne out of the dead
Gold cannot be made out of lead
Once the sparrow of soul flits away
the body becomes the food of worms.

Haiku.

By Bryan Wegman.

Working myself to the bone… more like working while I’m shaking in my bones; I don’t just hate going to work but I’m afraid to. Working Stiff… I couldn’t be one of those zombies even if I wanted to be but that doesn’t stop me from dying inside.

This is a poem that addresses gender issues and the abuse that stems from gender advantage in society. It explores the dual feminine and masculine nature of humans regardless of sex. It exposes the dark ethos of patriarchy. The poem is part of a larger collection of poems that relate to the topic of forgiveness, and is a way of using poetry as a therapeutic medium. I hope to create unique and poignant dialogue about gender relationships, identity, sexuality, ignorance, and the abuse of power.
