Bait and Switch...

What a world,I find myself,
stagnant pools in wait engulfs
.....a vortex of negativity
the positive having to face such enmity...

Feeling the need to escape strangulation
surrounded by those whom enforce diminution
evil conspirators against loving transition
....only looking to exchange positions...

Bait and switch of a different kind,
as evil pursuance destroys the mind...

Yes my kindred friend, is certainly does. It is very hard to keep truth and light in the forefront, when surrounded by nothing but darkness and sludge...but we must, and there in lay the triumph of those who know! Great poem, love Kristin
