Slain Morals

Slain Morals

Honesty - a departing soul!
Bleeding at the altar
of deceit and foul.

Humility - what ancient term!
Prisoner of arrogance
Now slithering worm.

Love - a sightless fool!
Bought by riches
Strangled by cruel.

Peace - screams aloud!
Garland of grenades
Adorns crimson shroud.

Secular- what hypocrisy!
Love thy religion
Slain democracy.

Conscience - a stifled shout!
Unscrupulous ego
Ethics without.

    It is hard to point out to say which is the best stanza of this poem. Honestly, I've found each stanza so very powerful and true that I just can't have anymore words to say. One of the best poems of this site. I love your writing.

    You managed to put so much in this piece.

    Peace - screams aloud!
    Garland of grenades
    Adorns crimson shroud.

    This stanza just seems to scream.
    Excellent job!
    Love Cindy
