Tree of darkness
Watered by hate
Evil without harness
Bearing fruit that must be ate

Growing without light
Hate flowing in a demonic flood
Covering the world and forcing night
Choking the innocent on their own blood

But the fruit must be eaten to gain the power
The power that’s not really here
Instead it drains and weakens by the hour
All their power is really just fear

Soon the tenders of the soil
And the eaters of the fruit
Will feel their blood boil
And have no weapons, or guns to shoot


Uhm..ok don't ask me what this means cuz the last few things I have written, including this, almost wrote themselves. That might account for the reason why they suck so bad. Anyways enjoy.

It doesn't suck bad- it doesn't suck at all. It's a good message, quite powerful. Good job keep it up

I love how you said the poems wrote themselves......and within the poem I liked the line about the innocent choking on their blood.
Anyhow, it was a wonderful read.

Hey,

Although I just started reading your work I though this was a great first poem for me to read of yours. Hope to see more of your work and your going straight to my library.

Hmmm...if this sucks, then by golly I wish my work sucked as bad as yours
This was really an awesome poem. Very visual and creative...you write more, I'll read more. Deal? good

This one wasn't as impressive as the other one. Still, a good idea behind it. I'd revise this if I were you.
