Renegades

Wooed and wedded with a devil's kiss
the renegades are here, not blessed 
on any heaven's list nor bedded 
in the womb of common decency.

Men are bleeding, truth and beauty
losing their validity. Legless, heartless, 
headless, mindless stark insanity!

Humanity withers; people are reeling,
dealing their brothers, stealing 
another look over their shoulders, 
trust but a fantasy, justice a dream.

So sad but so true...a world so filled with hatred and greed...in His time all will be made well. Love your title, and you captured the reason behind it all in your first line. It's Satan's world...at the moment.

Yeah... I think the first line really sets it off... thanks for your insightful remarks! Best wishes, Keith
