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

Thanks so much Sofia. Sometimes I just need to write it out to get it out of my system.

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.
