THE FACE

By chance I saw THE FACE ,

That others saw ,

THE FACE it were so ugly,

Repulsive in the extreme ,

Reminded me of Dorian Gray ,

All the pain of all he'd ever met ,

Heard and seen

All the pain of humanity since Lucy* ,

All the horrors heap upon all that ever lived ,

And died ,

All the pain of those who stumble on through
Life ,

Man that pitcher , oh what a pitcher

Ken D Williams

The Dyslexic Poet

*the fossilized remains of a woman aged 25 (?) found in Ethiopia.
