Disparage


I hear crying of children,
They are alone, and in fear

Yet, I am not there
to keep them from harm…

Near nameless,
until little eyes are dried of tears
Working through distortions
of life’s gifts and charms

Captured…

Imagine, living in a closet,
or tied beneath a bed
Beaten
in reason given impulse
by the devil’s burning dead
extracting, through searching eyes,
a lonely mind,
and breaking an unprotected heart

The only defense is retaliation,
but the innocent have none to give

Unschooled in political correctness,
that adulteresses’ bed
Where
Hate is construed as love
and given freely by domination
And
Fear is in payment
allowed by clutching to inner thought
Where
Mind absorbs distortions,
With no adjustments in culmination
So
Living innocence becomes disparage,
But
explained away
as adults having the same dreadful place
What educated school
would dare deny that rhetorical

So
Arm yourself,
little children
And know for sure
Each tear that falls
Will soon,
pierce that devils head
And you someday,
will live in THE King’s Kingdom Home
while the devil’s devils are dead

Then
You will never again
be without love,
or in that lonely place,
and all alone
Your name and importance
IS carved in stone…

Sorry,
sorrowfully,
I’m not there now,
to keep you from harm…
