Read backwards from the final page
Between the lines, decipher rage
Break the silence with nonfiction
Pen a whisper with conviction

Burn a bridge by scrawling fire
Conjured misfit truths inspire
Eclipse a drama with reality
Comfort lies in false formality

A paper guise folds more in less
A house of cards implies finesse
Judge the cover by the fable
Observe the facts beneath the label

Induced to snare an alibi
Censored faith burns paper lie
Search relations with technique
End a sinning winning streak

Mirror a future in your past
Or speak out first to be the last
Read backwards from the final date
Absolve your lines of reckless hate.

Great advice, and great poem!

Wow, Kindredspirit, what a heavy karmic load to lay upon anyone!  Strong work here, with more than a little anger glaring through.  Nice work.
