"Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it"~ Mark Twain


CRUELTY'S SEQUEL

Echos down a stony hall
Deaf to time by weary calls
By the living......yet alone
What has past....would not atone

Chained within....and chained until
Without key......free thought....or will
Blind to freedoms....blind to light
Deceiver of the spirit's right

Agonies caressed and blessed
Badge of trials........and distress
Tally every wrong....and grieve
Did you reap......as you deceived?

Was your soil fertile ground
Did you roar with righteous sound
Was your flock....without defense
Was your pasture....barbed and fenced

Did you menace and destroy
Did you trumpet hate's envoy
As you wail down stony halls
Haunting echos.....force...recall

Sigh

'Did you reap as you deceived?'
'Was your pasture barbed or fenced?'

Right to the bottom of the heart with the first line. The heart is desparately deceitful, who can know it? Barbed or fenced? Thank God that Christ's open for us to enter. I await His sequal with hope.

Lade with unchartered gems, Anita. An open seam for me to mine.

That's one bad apple.
This is like reading a nightmare. Dark poetic imagery.
Really brings the vilest horror to life...

If this was meant to scare the morals back into the unjust it sure scared me. Absolutely spellbinding poem combined with a killer graphic...winner here for sure.

Yes, it is a wish that never really comes true. Some find pleasure only in hating and seeing pain in another is their game.
