Notes About The Poem

unrhymed quatrains 

Deceiver

We are all victims of circumstances 
Crying out to a world for peace 
yet none heed the voices
calling to the high heavens 

Those of war that weep unfairly treated
Where dirty tricks begin licking wounds 
lead filled poisoning born from fire brainwashing people 
to justify killing there is no compassion showing 

When really there is only one face showing 
that which speaks truth hate
Inside each and everyone of us 
unforgiving reality dwells the secret pact

The deceiver tests our faith inside our weakness
it's here we find strength and understanding 
Love holds the moral code of conduct 
Where truth within virtues echo

A structure shines with happiness 
Joy the brightest light
Into the whispering dead ghosts who never speak back 
Burning memories remain unborn sacrificed into the lake of fire 

Embers of pain haunt a living soul 
looking back reliving truth right and wrong 
we all know black and white no in between stand or fall 
I bless myself prepared for battle each and every night
