I see across a sea of formless sand Shapeless in its eternal waves upon the earth The time glass source of all mankind That beckons to heaven for its plight Salvation for huddled masses, clothed in rags Besotted by ideology gone astray In the constant heat of war and death Shamans and martyrs Fakirs and true believers All toiling amongst the decrepit ways Trying to bridge the gap to tomorrow With leaders spouting platitudes And false prophets spewing words of hate Venom disguised as religion When they only worship the almighty dollar The seduction of ultimate power Self serving for their own lusts Enflaming the people, enflaming the land Red and orange fire outlined in black smoke Wreathed in blood Spilled upon the sand All burning, burning, burning Everything consumed in fire |

Thanks, like I said on Suncleaver's dark poem, you and he inspired me to come out of my shell, so to speak with my dark themed ones. I've been kinda worried about posting them here for fear people would think something was wrong, but then...nobody knows me anyway, so what the heck? lol |

"And false prophets spewing words of hate Venom disguised as religion" this is so very true. Hate, Hate and some more hate is fed to innocence souls. Dark shedding some light, exceptional. "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

"Venom disguised as religion When they only worship the almighty dollar" Such true words, so well put. The viper of life that we fight to separate ourselves from. Wonderfully expressed! |

Nothing wrong Jerry, I think a great poet, or writer, is one who is changeable, very creatie, imaginative, bwing able to write any form, any emotion, or expression. I just posted a dark one, life is good and evil, we can't always life in fantasy land, somethimes there is a harsh reality! |
