rejected, alone
agonizing
not over anonymnity
but erasure
seen but not noticed
a joke to laugh at
the levity in the room
suffering
is surpising entertainment
from a safe distance
stigmatizers
inflict stigmata
upon the flesh
of the forgotten
solitary confinement
born on the fears
of faithless frauds
the iconography bleeds
crimson cruelty
dripping down
cathedrals of callous corpses

Overlooked, banished, forgotten, erased. Damnatio memoriae the roman punishment of erasing a person's name from history. The worst punishment far worse than a death sentence it is the ultimate death sentence of obliterating one's existence. A dark and sad poem my friend.
