Sincerely
Dear _______,
Scorn;
fill yourself with the bitterness of contempt
and file through a cesspool of historical revenge,
yet you are despicable in your wake
to know that giants sleep
and slumber benevolently,
but you offer only a blade
of death
and sleek antiquity.
You'll set yourself ablaze,
torn asunder.
You'll witness the cemetary of our worldly wonders;
feign ignorance to
moral warning,
wrap the past in poisoned sap,
risk the present that goes foreboding
and reap the future in earthly trap.
There is supposed to be a balance.
No longer found in foundries dry,
bound to look at old men cry,
to hear the sound of dying babes,
and screech the women that sob and beg,
so you can have your grand epiphany
and bask in religious sophistry
to preach the words that defy our world
and oppress on us
an equivalent blasphemy.
Sincerely,
_______.
