Rules of fate

by The Poet Behind The Poems   Dec 12, 2012


How can cascading eyes,
leave me with sable lenses ?

Forgive me Father,for my
insubordination is instigated
by political corruption .

My hands hold life's tiny fabric,
waiting patiently to execute
an eternity of death.

How can blood of innocents paint
dusty streets,while the guilty
dance upon His children's graves.

Open your eyes, implement a life
for a life, banish evil to the
underworld -let them decompose -

Burning , in fiery pits.

    Wow. This is very dark. I never realized that dark poetry was a big signature of yours, and you're fabulous at it.

    "How can blood of innocents paint
    dusty streets, while the guilty
    dance upon His children's graves."

    I was cringing at this point. Like, I put my head in my hands and paused for a second before I could finish this poem. You have a way of disturbing me to the very core with some of the things you write, and that's fantastic. It's almost taboo, and I applaud you.

    you've scarred me ;) LOL. Definitely one of my favorites from you, mate. :)

    Loved your opening question, it started this poem off so strong and thought provoking with just one line..

    ^ This was epic, love your wording here!!

    ^ I can already tell you the answer to this...its because of evil..those who believe in God usually question this, ask where he is, yadda yadda...however, if you believe in God (good), then you should believe in the devil (bad)...guilty acts are run by him, not God...sad that people choose evil over righteousness if you ask me

    Tony, this piece was seriouslyy awesome! So dark, so thought provoking as I stated above, the wording was excellent. I really enjoyed this!

    Absolutely agree with the message. There are people who commit such horrible acts of crime and get no punishment and often the victims are more punished with their pain than the ones who commited the crime.

    I loved your language use and the tone of the poem, It is like you are talking to yourself but wanting others to hear these thoughts and agree that this is wrong.

    Very clear message and I think this poem is one of your best. Loved it. I also want to point out that I like your title choice for it, because fate is something you believe in or not, and as much as we want to sometimes it can be hard when bad things happen and we wonder what the rules are, what people deserve and why good people suffer while the guilty run free.

    Excellent poem. x

    So, I've read this a few times...
    to see if what I get out of this poem would change...

    These recent writes of yours are different from what I am used to reading from you, the tone and depth, I mean. (Not that there is anything wrong with your previous poems lol.) I guess I was just taking my time and making sure that I was confident in how I personally understand what you're writing...

    To me, it seems that while you live your life, day to day, you struggle with the atrocities in the world around you...

    watching the innocents suffer...while the guilty roam free, with no consequence...

    The "life for a life" maybe is your way of saying...an eye for an eye...those who are evil and commit evil, should be dealt with accordingly...
    being banished to Hell...where they belong...

    I could be way off. lol.

    Good pen though :)
