Unaware

Within a world

of peace

of allies

a dream has thus been broken.

When wild men are allowed to run

when decisions are made

using obsolete rules

great damage can be done.

With delusions of grandeur

with complete disregard

the mad man will destroy

all camaraderie

pushing the politest

the nicest

to suddenly stand straight

bearing his teeth

proving that he is not weak.

A mad man depends

on idiots and morons

those who follow blindly

to implement his vision.

A mad man mocks

the simple things

like…..

humanity

freedom

reality

truth.

I wonder

on a daily basis

does he realize he is a joke?

Blackhearted

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

who is the fairest of them all?

Black is her heart

corrupt lies on her lips

she taunts

she tantalizes

she will bury you in the crypt.

Never bothering to learn a thing

she built an empire

on cheap promises

on broken desires

on the backs of those

she holds in contempt.

With ebon hair piled high

startling saphire eyes

carmine lips ready to kiss

this witch laughs at all.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

who is the wickedest of them all?

Learned at the knees of a King

brutal

abusive

not love and fairness.

Icy tears freeze on her cheeks

as she looks over it all

fires burn

men have spurned

her kingdom for their own.

Battering rams

evil intent

just as she was taught

no matter how fair

no matter how wicked

women never come out on top.
