Poem
Another Sweet Heart Crushed Another angel lost By Fate's hot burning brand; Cheap was the ghastly cost, unclean the reaping hand. Another vessel broke In life's wicked charade; In blackest of air stoked, misery on parade. Another sweet heart crushed Youthful innocence cut; By rumor verdict rushed, Gossip consuming glut. Another soul cut deep By foulest of black lies; Birthing words cast forth cheap, sent virtue sailing bye. Another day awaits Truth to stir, to be freed; Held back by those that hate, And sow their poison seed. Another death ends all Truth had come forth to bear; Too late stop her sad fall, This dark world had no care. R.J. Lindley, August 7th, 1974 Rhyme in Six, (When Lying Gossip Destroys Virtue) Syllables Per Line: 0 6 6 6 6 0 6 6 6 6 0 6 6 6 6 0 6 6 6 6 0 6 6 6 6 0 6 6 6 6 Total # Syllables: 144 Total # Words: 106 (Old) Note- My dear friend has had a great lie spread that destroys her virtue. My lone voice telling others that the guy admitted to me that he lied and my telling others of this has had no impact- the believers want to believe and want to mock her. She being devastated, has considered the unthinkable act. Those wanting to believe lies never accept truth. She has moved out of state because one person decided to destroy her reputation. And even truth being brought forth has no impact. New note: I lost track of her but several years later heard that she had indeed did the unthinkable act. Evil, darkness and wicked souls too oft get by destroying innocent people. Laws protect such people from we that would otherwise deliver justice unto them! Taken from one of my old private journals, decided that this should see the light of day. Verses edited today, her name removed.
