The Whipping Boy is Dead

The Whipping boy is Dead

The whipping boy is dead. 

The whips of tongue and leather breaking spirit, breaking skin.  Destructive painful even insidious.

 

Evidence lost to the blind eye. The Whipping boy attracting a beating for crimes not his own,

He is a sin eater grasping for food. The line is breached, a serenity siege, by insults upon his soul.

The Whipping boy, Sin eater dines on shame and pain

Now he’s full and ready for sleep.

Little did he know this sleep would be for keeps.

The Whipping boy is dead

Rise up! Rise up!  Remove your shackles. Turn and face your aggressors!

With fire of white and all your might pour love to them from Thee

Now Watch as they fall, they flee, they stumble

Scattered by the winds of change

The Whipping boy is dead

Give way to the light of day.

I feel mySelf expanding into places where he hid,

Fear drenched spaces, precious energy wasted as he waited to do their bidding.

But now the cycle is complete

Any attempt to rouse him to eat

a sin not of my own making 

Will Fail All Hail

The whipping boy is dead.  Freedom from oppression.

Long live the Victorious soul  ! 

in light and love

Freedom From Abuse

The whipping boy is dead is a creative piece sharing the woes of a victim. The death is actually a rebirth of the boy who has found his power. The part of him that played the whipping boy has died and is now liberated. Victorious in his own right he no longer takes the blame or eats the sins of others. In stories told the term “whipping post” is used but I think it takes it a step to far from the truth. It is a person who receives the brunt of abuse that was never his or hers to bare. 

I speak of personal power in many of my blogs in one way or another.  We all have personal power but that seems far from true for the person who has given their power to another. This happens early in life most of the time. I remember when the term “bullied” did not exist. There were bullies a plenty but many were never called out on what they did. Many of them were abused at home one way or another and took it out on the weakest so they could feel superior. Others grew up believing they were better than others as they listened to conversations from bigoted adults.
