Word of the Day Challenge #119-Untitled Poem

See no evil

hear no evil

speak no evil

do no evil

all common morals

so easy to hold true

yet time and time again

pictures paint a different scene.

Death

destruction

venom spewed

in vicious circles

one

two

three

drop the bombs

snipe the sniper

take down the drones

turn back the time

when forefathers ran the streets

guns in hand

shooting

lynching with impunity.

I watch

high upon the battlements

a sorceress

taking them out

one by one

while munching on my biscuits.

Endless Time

Hard

no explanation

no words

encompass

emotions fled

tears fall

voiceless

mouth moves

no one

never anyone

hears

caught up

caught behind

false life

pretending glories

mirrored falsities

one upon another

building

lives further

further from truth

further from sanity

further from…..

Sad

very 

very 

sad.

Wrapped

wet linens of melancholy

trapped

burgeoning fears

standing on the lip

bizarre mirage

flickering in the future

never

to be found…..

oasis lost.

Sad

truly

truly 

sad.

Wade the depths

sink slowly

beneath

blue waves

float

graceless

eyes wide

tears gather

stars wonder

last breath

time to say good bye

for this sad

it has climbed within

unable to find succor

I want it all to end.
