Judgment
Broken with no warning.
Your love is left
...and unfurling into open flame.
I am an unkempt disruption of society's well formed plague.
I speak with a loud voice,
willing embarrassment
...hoping it finds the ones with greedy tones.
The sick
...not of body, but of mind.
I send them the cure.
I hope it burns their eyes.
Sting the retinas of ones who
look upon meager families with judgement.
May their prideful lives be accosted
....by their own selfish drive.
I am the release of truth.
I am compassionate wisdom.
Judgement of the ones,
that sell their souls for jewels of worldly pride.
......I am the rain that suffocates the fire
......in a forest of lost men.
Pray they drown again.
