Hunter


Wicked is the demon cloaked in white
Preaching archaic solutions
As if he knows they are right
Building monuments to the sky
Leading in the flock
Biding his time
A rabid wolf when out of sight

I am the hunter of the hunted
Waiting in the promised land

Hey everyone, I'm a very thoughtful and introspective aspiring writer. I've gone through some heavy stuff and writing helps tremendously and I joined powerpoetry to keep me inspired and going and help deal with the demons. I love music, making independent short films and music videos and of course writing.

<p>Didn&#39;t get an email notification or anything. My gmail was tired of filtering the comments into the spam folder I suppose. But I really appreciate the comment! I&#39;m not going to say how it was meant to be read, because poetry is supposed to be about interpretation and finding a meaning as a reader. I can see a religious parallel working into the mix though. I did use some religious phrases I&#39;m familiar with, but just because I liked the way they fit the poem.&nbsp;</p><p>It really means a lot to be getting so much positive feed back. I honestly hadn&#39;t written poetry in a long time, but when I found the community I decided to give this a chance and didn&#39;t expect so much positve feedback. I&#39;m not all about the scholarships either, I just write and share and if anything comes from it I&#39;d be thrilled but writing is so much more than just a lucritive venue, it&#39;s what I am most passionate about in the world and I am so thankful for all the postivity I got from a poem I didn&#39;t think was that great!</p>

<p>This poem really interests me, I read it with a religious parallel in mind. I&#39;m not sure if that&#39;s how it was meant to read, but it worked beautifully. Really impressed.</p><p>SJ</p>
