A Collaboration with Marti Sutherland
Notes: I have been approached by a few to do some collaborations, but this particular one resonates with me. I know a few people on soup pretending to be victims are running around sites like Facebook, slandering and insulting people, a clear form of bullying. When they are called on it, they play victim, another bully tactic and very high school to say the least. They assume, and have no idea the hurt and pain they cause. Don't be silent, speak up when you see this. Poetry is meant to spread love, harmony and joy and not meant for petty jealousy and slander. This should be a place for encouragement. Hypocrisy from hypocrites is total irony.
A Collaboration with Marti Sutherland
Circling the table before they feast, black ravens crow
bright beady eyes darting to and fro, away they go
landing on a wounded body that has not yet died
circling the skies before they feast, dark ravens cried
On their bellies through titanic grass, slimy snakes slither
forked tongues searching for innocent prey, coming hither
Reptiles crawling from under rocks, cold-blooded and chilled
their fangs leaving lethal bites, and another victim is killed
skulking in shifting shadows, deceitful humans lie in wait
Bearing no name, no face; beware of the wicked who hate
Brutal bashers who take what they want at the cost of life
Back stabbers living in a harsh world where hypocrisy is rife
Ravens, snakes and evil humans sit on thrones of deceit
Like black widows they feast on their mates when they cheat
They spin their lies so easily, like the sticky web of a spider
Beware you are not caught when their mouths open wider
