love the lost

March 3rd, 2013 § 2 comments

Poem #49 for Gift Poem from Matthew Zimmerman

 

I have compassion for the plight of the homosexual

The sadness of a beaten life weighs always heavy on

a heart as mine, a heart that is often drawn to

the consolation of the outcasts and misfits of humanity

Beaten in grade school, mocked in higher learning and

a drifter in adulthood, I have skirted the edges

of existence, aching and sore and yearning

 

Everyone needs an ear, whether that ear hears anything or not

and the lonely among us need it most…

 

In my travels, I have often come to learn that the deserted

are

the most brilliant

the most compassionate

the most pure among the masses

 

Please,

love the lost…

we all, at some point in our lives

find ourselves stranded

staring into an abyss

thoroughly mocked

and utterly alone

 

 

 

af
