Battered Dream

My dream as sweet as ripe succulent cantaloupe
almost within reach as I approached my peers
but a shock of scorn and loathing disappointment
my success judged by my omnipotent alabaster skin
some self-righteous pontiferous blues fraternity
whose Mithras sigil be nothing but a murky sump
a career solstice as hollow as a brittle coconut
cards held by ignorant resourceful pokeno bluffers
I turn tail, my spirits battered but not broken
my rising star shall shine again someday
