Deceit

DECEIT

You knock and question the source
Your truth tells lies
Your dagger of ferocious hand
Shatters the walls of innocent hearts
Yet your remorse is negligible

You are a double agent
You kill your comrades
And beat your terrible chest
You are a colourless charcoal
Yet your remorse is negligible

Far from my holy home
You unscrupulous neighbor of men
For the lives you viewed very
Varied in the home of pains
Yet your remorse is negligible

Save me your arrows
You horrible guest of men
I detest your mindless lovers
And wish them a vengeful abyss
Yet your remorse is negligible

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

You write so well. This is a strong poem. Espoecially the final stanza.
