Slithering Distractions

Slithering distractions

Taunting from the narrows
Rummaging the pain
Oscillating arrows
Lasting is the stain

Lurking in the alleys
Seeking other’s tears
Once the number tallies
Nudging on the fears

Slithering distractions
Ominous display
Undesired actions
People run away

Spewing like a fountain
Unimpeded hate
Cast them from the mountain
Kick them to their fate

Darren White Date: 3/22/2017 9:46:00 AM That is a powerful poem... Away with hate, there is too much of it in the world. It makes me sad. I don't deal with hate very well, it makes me feel helpless.
