Awaken To Yourself
Uttering Lamb full
Of deceit
Awaken to yourself
Threatening defeat
When do the winds
Change and drift
Why does the snake
Bite so swift
Speak your vomit upon
A leper who seeks
Your contempt and control
Under deathly reek.
Egregious errs turn
Your dread
Spoken words, spite
In your stead;
Countenance from Evils
Follow at your heels
Let not, see not
Your darkened deals
Propitious Devils lap your
Fortune-
Spent. Burned, gone
Erroneous portion
Despondent - adrift in
A downcast sea
Drowning in your own
Objectivity.
Honorable Mention in Paula Swanson's contest "Just Write Poetry"
