Caduceus’ Abattoir (Slaughterhouse)

• Imagine Lying on a Cold Slab, Heart Pounding
• paralyzed, aware of your surroundings
• moving motionless, in favor of your destiny
• a trillion needles, stinging your feet
• being burned by intense heat
• you feel the pain melting your toes
• the smell of seared flesh, smothering your nose
• the fire below is diabetes
• hedging higher, past your ankles, your knees
• flames burning your kidneys
• your pyro paralysis is diagnosed, dialysis
• ulcers, penetrating your abdomen
• wanting to scream, stifled by drugs
• your Heart rhythm interrupted by thermal hugs
• medication, pumping pain
• past your throat, into your brain
• valiantly, in vain
• you try and fight
• giving up with all of your might
•  the fire, of a Hell bound Empire
• spewing pathogenic products
• Cancer, its Civil Conduct…R.D.Revilo

When Pleasing is Painful, For You

• We Have To Learn to Accept
• Manage, Tolerate, Cope
• with our disappointments, no regrets
• when I was younger than twenty
• I met this gorgeous woman
• felt a little something between her and me
• went to tell my Friend, but instead
• found her crawling naked out of his bed
• frozen, well he and I still remained friends
• but anger, humiliation and disappointment
• would never let me speak to her again
• then there was my Father and me
• he was a technician
• so, to show, pride, I, as his son
• was not attrition, but an addition
• why, my Brother had a crack addiction
• but, me, I wanted to give something back
• when I walked, got my engineering degree
• I was so happy, called him to share my glee
• only to have Him speak these words
• Don’t Step On me
• I still feel the pound of how profound
• that sudden stop, knocked me down
• but I learned, out of a thousand tries
• 999 will beat me to the ground
• but I am always getting up
• Always and in All ways, on the rebound…R.D.Revilo

Quacking Chickens

• Now That Commonsense is At An All Time Low
• Back to The Basics, here we go
• All of this lengthy Labor, we must cease
• allowing our Motherwit to increase
• every animal that gives birth
• stands, walks, allowing gravity
• to help pull out the Baby, which falls to the Earth
• but these professional for profit, smock styling
• Medical Quacks, have our Women, painfully
• Birthing on their backs
• experiencing, unnecessary trauma
• believing they need a doctor to become a Momma
• if other animals don’t, why do we
• need this excruciating experience to start a Family
• no, these O-B-G-Y-N’s, need to be brought to an end
• their false practice is causing many tummies to be cut
• when, if the Ladies would stand, squat,
• the Baby would fall out of their BUTT…R.D.Revilo

• Her Heart, Her Soul, Her Body, Cold
• Then, it Stopped
• Death is Like That

Expressionless Echoes

• Ever Lost A Good Friend
• A Wife or A Husband
• one of your Children
• the weight of the World falls, Times Ten
• you try, but you want to give in
• then the pain of whom you won’t get back
• hits harder than a Heart-Attack
• a smell, a color, a breeze, can bring it on
• a look alike, familiar sound, or song
• and you start hurting for your Friend, now gone
• Silently, you cry, I know
• wishing you were the one, who had to go
• Being strong enough to remain
• doesn’t ease the echo of pain
• So dry your cry,
• smile, sigh instead, so
• disappointment, anger, disdain
• won’t cause the hurt so
• when the pain echoes
• Love it, Hug it, Don’t let it Go
• Express the Echo, by Reading a Revilo…R.D.Revilo
