Tonight, I die
as even, I,
pull the trigger back.

This night I cry
in rivers dried...
(this night I know no lack.)

As a sword upon breastbone
weary weight of ME, alone--
I live in fear of unatone--
I fear injustice of my slap.

Even as I spin my hand,
the blood of innocents demand--
seemingly simple reprimand--
I feel a need to chisel stone.

Don't tell me that I brought this on...
Don't tell me that I wrote this song.
Don't tell me that--I'm just like you.
Tell me? God forgives me too...

Forgive me for misunderstand.
Where do I draw a line in sand?
Hitler, once, was just a man
magnetized to murder throng.

I stand before you.
Witch, am I.
All harm, I have
ever denied...
My vows deny my hand in this...
yet anger curls my hand in fist.

Not my children.
Not like this.
No kiss of such
mishapen lips...
and blood lust thrust
of beastie hips--
in lust of lips that tell such lies.

=======================================

dont really know how to respond to this...
cant compliment or critique such pain...
cant deny it nor ignore it.....
for I know all too well how both feel
powerful rhymes..I hope the intended gets the message.
You are poetry KA

We're all feeding our lonely ... like it might go away,
Like the doors of heaven will swing wide ... if we just find the right words to say.

Serenity,
Sort of agree with JM. There is such beauty in you. Don't hide the flower, it is full of power. *L* Sy

I felt each bit of the indignity in being part of something one does not want to be a part of, and this makes it a great poem.

do not deny the vows of old. . . for they are the things that make you what and who you are. . .

this pain comes from within. . .and is well shown here. . .

So much said here, and I don't know if I got the entire clear message, but such strong emotion coming through.
Take care, wonderful witch.
