Analysis of Homophobia Not



What if he could tell?
He would utter with disdain
About the feces on his head
And that foul, unbearable scent;
A waste for a cologne.
 You misguided fools,
Why should I push that little man in tubes filled with stool?
Little, but gifted for his size;
The purpose of my being,
The apple of my eyes.
The rough terrain call for a rubber suit
And polished rubber boots;
At least, that’s what they say.
A kiss from a damsel’s lips
Creates a lion from a log,
And rejuvenates a gloomy day.
Empathically I reasoned,
And unanimously concluded.
I would never force my friend to go in,
Not even to salvage this nightmare
I identified with life,
Knowing there is filth within those corroded pipes

Earle Francis Brown

I was born in Montego Bay, Jamaica. I was told that I can write, so I wrote and continues to write. I am currently living in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. I enjoy reading "real" poetry. My favorite books are the Pslams, Proverbs and Songs of Solomon.Poetry is not just vocabulary, and use of metaphors and formats. Don't be tricked. Poetry should speak life. I love a poem that tells a story. The most memorable poems are the ones that tell someone's story. I don't care about ratings; the truth is always hated. People are people where-ever we go. more…
