Oh they tell me that I've gone too far this time,
And they tell me that I've gone astray,
Oh they tell me of a hearing to make things right,
And they tell me that I've caused you pain.
Oh they tell me I should face some people I've wronged,
And they tell me that I'm trouble and vain,
Oh they tell me I should right the wrong that I've done,
And they tell me I'm the one to blame.

The answer to the story makes the right seem strong,
But truth won't cover all the grief.
And justice won't shelter the harm that's done.
When wicked still prosper from greed.

Let me tell them of the plot that made you strong,
And tell them of the plans that you made,
Let me tell them of the tears you can turn on,
And tell them of your brooding blame.
Let me tell them the disgrace your claim will define,
And tell them of your monetary weight,
Let me tell them of your secret clouded incline,
And tell them of your perilous change.

Let me tell them the source of the face you put on,
And tell them of the God you enjoy,
Let me tell them of the spirit of wealth you love,
And tell them of the world you destroy.
Let me tell them of the righteous dramatist that lies,
And tell them there's famine in waste,
Let me tell them of the war where the innocent demise,
And tell them of the hearts you break.


My father had a daughter and everyone was suprised!

Rebecca darling girl this is a strong and outstanding piece of writing, the message you’ve written comes across loud and clear. You have a powerful poetic voice you make yourself heard and that is excellent. Of course what did I expect you are your father’s child.

Wonderful writing well done and write some more please
  

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy


Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

This poem is unconstitutional...didn't you know you can't use "God" in anything these days...It offends atheists and Budda and Allah and all the others that don't count for anything of any value?...Geesch...such a great poem and then ya go and break the law....shame shame....but, as far as I'm concerned it was wonderful...
