Bullies Trembling In A Trance Poem by John Sensele

Heart of gold tires of old
Orgies slapped, squashed, smashed
Inside and outside each fold
Until the heart feels pushed and bashed.

Heart of gold grows bold
Breaks free
No longer sold lies told
So many times under a treachery tree.

Heart of gold seizes
Overt opportunities, opens double doors
Where disappointment freezes
Its fetters flattering freedom floors.

Heart of gold rebels
Declares zero tolerance
For battery bells
Sending bullies trembling in a trance.
