I’ve disappeared but still feel the pain

Fritz Hamilton

I’ve disappeared but still feel the pain,
the agony of having been here at all.
I try to pinch the flesh, but it’s gone with my soul.

All that’s left is ashes blown with dust,
but still I feel the misery & the anguish.
I’ve disappeared but still feel the pain.

God-the-devil laughs with cruelty.
My suffering is His pleasure & His pride.
I try to pinch the flesh, but it’s gone with my soul.

God-the-devil boils me in his stew.
He enjoys my writhing on His plate.
I’ve disappeared but still feel the pain.

He chews & swallows each morsel as I scream,
beyond the horror of any demon’s dream.
I try to pinch the flesh, but it’s gone with my soul.

Multicolored savages chew my bone.
The howling multitudes set the tone.
I’ve disappeared but still feel the pain.
I try to pinch the flesh, but it’s gone with my soul ...
