Dark November (Intro For Kneel To Your Conscience Poem)

I was left unemployed and penniless As a result of vicious rumors Circulating about the work place Based on mere lies over drug abuse They claim it was attendance I know better, so do you Now, a once promising and bright career Has become an unforeseen dark spiral The obstacle has been removed Enjoy the promotion that should Have been mine How can you show no remorse? November 12, Three years of matrimonial bliss Suddenly came crashing down around me When approached by an enraged spouse Casting accusations of infidelity Try as I will, The name was withheld as to where this knowledge Was acquired, but I shall always know The originator being you My whole world shattered As if numerous slithers of broken glass Came toppling down upon me Slicing and piercing every inch of Of my heart and soul And with the withering of every Blissful memory, each cloud now Has been cloaked in a morbid shade of black, A warm bottle of whiskey had become my confidant And temporary solace on lonely nights While I fantasize over exacting Some form of retribution down upon you Well, enjoy my ex-wife since you thirsted after her For so long, I wonder, how someone could Have no conscience whatsoever? November 23, You had to be number one In father’s eyes at all times So, you had to tell him that his Oldest daughter has a girlfriend Not that there is anything Wrong with that, just dad’s old school ways Why did you have to betray my trust? Will you stop at nothing to obtain what you want? November 27, Three different people Tragically wounded by someone whom Shows no mercy, as well as no regrets, true I am not A vindictive person at heart, but is there no penance For this shallow unfeeling individual? (This piece of writing is an intro leading into the poem Kneel to your conscience)
