Life of a Statue

A handsome hunk in marble stone

Carved with hands full of care and love

An magnificent edifice to God's creation

Envy of all the statues at the art station

Devoid of shame naked full of humiliation

I see amorous desire in their eyes dancing

Folks of the real world do not realize

I may not have a soul but my dignity

I prize

All those lecherous hungry stares

I need to cover my body bare

It's bad enough that I can't object

They take me for deaf and talk about the

taboo subject

Can't stand it anymore got to run from

this crucification

And be praised for being a replica of
P
God's. creation

Alas I can't run with my marble feet

stuck to my place

Have to bear it all with my naked body

and face.
