The Crucifixion of L

Larry Lowry 1959 (Pryor)

Free verse
The crucifixion of L. You have never seen me. You never heard me. I cannot hate I despair this world so many saying hate and so little Love. I see the words you must bend my way. Awake they say but they say close your eyes so I get what I want no matter the cost. One percent of our people telling everyone we know best. I am L I have never asked for the cost I live I love all. You embraced the hate. I cannot hate I will keep burning. Saint Joan burned I burn every day I breathe. I am the burning man. Crucifixion of L.
