Grief.
|
This sadistic time
Unwashed pillow
Forgotten the tears
Have dried
Yet an emptiness
A loss of hope
A game of monstrosity
Dealt to the least deserving
Good hearts mourn
The best always die young
Unknown future
Never played out
Silence the only response
Recognition of harm
No change
Psycho killers
With armor piercing bullets
Impregnable castle of death
The moat wide and deep
Dark creatures lurk
In brackish waters
Children and babies
Crawling
Yet the birds sing
On barbed wire
Ironing the folds of justice
So unbalanced
Deliver us from evil
Tongue parched
Bleached the cow skull
Of serenity
Peeling back that pinhole
Camera obscura
Upside down
Reflection

Gloom and sadness permeate through this " Grief." I like your choice of words to move "This Sadistic Time," to reality of the
psyche...Welcome to the den! Enjoyed!
Always,

Dark and forbidding poem. But it's always been so. The transgressions of the past, like cannibalism and human sacrifice, were much greater, but mostly hidden from our view. The reason we're seeing so much today is because of the Internet and everyone having cameras to focus on tragedies in a way we've never seen before.

| Excellent! Words from a deep well of human spirit; a synthesis of light and dark seen in the twisted mirrors of reality. I like your work very much. |
