Phantoms of the Oprressed
Desire dies slowly
abandonment within
fate bred to face alone
silence of suffering.
Children cry from distortion
women die on end
the cold sense of fear gorging
every instinct within.
Fanaticism, blind cruelty
the mind to be God
debased truly
as blood flows from hearts.
Winds churn- raging eddies
no tears, bloody;
depravity, twice tavesty-
hypocrisy of religion.
I search the distant blue
my thoughts are moved
voices forgotten, trodden
self-centerness of a world unkind.
The arc divide, broken skies
solace flees the innocent
sometimes I cry,
pain- the despised
in ever shifting winds.
Politicians driven by riches
labor for the elite
vultures with calculating eye
the poor decieved.
Capitilaism cloaked democracy
the art of oligarphy;
socialism, communism
nameless faces
brace death everessencently.
Prejudice in every form
the world thread bare
cold eyes stare.
Signs of the times
and wicked crimes
justice becomes shadows
sympathy like quenced candles.
Whispers in every sunrise
meanders lapis luzuli
usually unheard tears
within timesless fears.
Prepare, red storms, scorn
rage and revenge
lips with daggers borne
intentions not missed.
Still they gently rise
as phantoms of life
burst the seams of tyranny
on every heart.
hurt everywhere.
