Punctured Vain

You are a sniper
You gave me equations to destroy the future
in pretence I embraced love with fear
just to hide from a dark cloud

I am not a terrorist
with hope in tears flooding my cheeks
I was denied and rejected by family
my grief and sorrow wisdom abode
you made me an orphan in my land
how many are you?

my heart bursted in a cage of furnace
cured with unlimited saliva
I worked super hard for a cent
just to support my best friend
she's now half a score
where have you been?

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome 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." The Lord's blessings be with you.
