Marilyn Stevens Poet I do not know?

Demolition Job

Where are they now
All those that knew me
Knives in my back
Piercing right through me

So much to gain 
From my demise
It was so easy
By just telling lies.

It took 20 years
To do this to me
It's no longer obvious 
What I might be

Surrounded by evil
Greed and malice
Wanting to steal
My sacred chalice

Not just that
But everything
I am left with nothing 
Not even a ring

They try to scare me
But it doesn't work
They hate the fact
That their jibes I can shirk.

Will I survive to see tomorrow?
I say to myself everyday
Why must I live my life in sorrow?
It was never meant to be this way?

No friends
Just predators and weapons
No love
Apart from the love of my dear son.

May God Protect us Both
