Force

I felt that I must put this quickly to pen Stemming from courage felt within An exegesis now to fully deliver Maybe to understand fear, quiver; Witness to acts; execrable horror, Silence such a ghostly mirror Reflective of liberal thought profligates Unheard of will be these debates Cursed to sit, watch them squabble semantics; Pedantic's breathing darkness frantic! I damn them all, these caretaker's of hellfire; Put life lower on the tree sire, No I will not stand idle by Watch innocents cringe, slowly die; They breathe but a shallow word Force...

Interesting work that is well written and thought out..The line "witness to acts; execrabe horror" makes me think that this is about some kind of abuse..Thanks for stopping by, reading, and leaving a kind review of my work..Sara

Thank you to Sara, Nette, and Mrs. Linda. I usually do not comment on the meaning of my poems. This one, to be clear, is actually regarding the decision to push contraceptives on the Catholic faith. Mrs. Sara, it could certainly be labeled abuse. Just a rant about how sick I am of the forced push of ideologies that our government was not founded upon.
