Dustin Branum Poet Dramatic Verse

The unemployed prophet

The unemployed prophet
By: Dustin Branum 

Please don't take his name in vain
 for it is I the one to blame
It is I that disgraced his holy name
I and I alone shall bear the pain
of his wrath and the devils flame
This knowledge is the curse that possesses me
Unable to fulfill my Destiny 
 I've lost my heart, my soul, my reason to be
Cause by hate, fear and uncertainty 
And for the ones that loved me it isn't fair 
How can they trust when sanity isn't there
My mind and soul in disrepair 
And I think it's my fault that no one cares
Revenge is a suggestion but do I dare 
The anger and hatred I shouldn't share 
Violently shaking my fists in the air 
Crying to God but he isn't there 
My demons are starting to laugh at me 
I curse his name in blasphemy 
I cannot fulfill what you ask of me 
Maybe it never was my Destiny 
Maybe you should find somebody else to do your dirty work
