Best Poems Written by Lisa Zurek

The Angel Outside the Devil Within

Why am I here you ask?
Why is your most beloved, most dedicated, most brightest one standing before you
ready at will to defy your authority?
Why are my eyes filled with tears that refuse to shed one last time?
I, amongst all of your winged children who knelt before your illuminating light,
now stands against the shadow of your hypocrisy and vengeful ways.
You give free will to creatures of your likeness so they may choose to revere you and give you thanks.
Yet, you incinerate their cities and kill the innocents if they do not follow your
commandments.
You let men with false hearts build palaces while their dependents starve and sleep
in their own filth.
If this is what I must worship than I would rather rule on a throne in Hell than be on bended knee in Heaven.
