The Sharpest Lives

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Apr 18, 2007


The sharpest lives we live,
In such a deadly shame.
In a world full of deceit,
With a hatred we can't tame.

We hide behind every lie,
Which we consume at birth.
We feed from it until we die;
There's nothing to this Earth.

The sun shines so bright,
Yet still behind smiles we hide.
Within our lives there is no light,
No inner soul to confide.

Let man take our dreams,
And throw them in our face.
It isn't as hard as it seems,
They've consumed the human race.

Ruin my dreams and I'll build new ones,
With exactly the same views.
I'll bring the devil in with a whirl of guns,
To your sanitary pews.

So, to my heart let the devil speak;
I'll give you my style of sin.
This is a definite no, no I will seek,
In hearts of so many men.

It's just like the sharpest lives we live,
In such a godly, sinful shame.
With nothing but a world that doesn't give,
Through a killing hatred we can't tame.

Shame on me for being me,
A person all on my own.
Shame on me to see,
And stand up all alone.

I will not follow the crowd;
I will stick up for what I believe is right.
I will speak loud because I'm proud
In a world that's a sad, sad sight.

It's just like the sharpest lives we live,
In such a godly, sinful shame.
This is a definite no, no I will seek,
In hearts of so many men.

    I adored this poem. What I really liked was your fresh outlook on life. Not many people see it that way, and now that I see your point of view I agree with you. Even though the world isnt quite ready for us all to stand up for what is right and stay true to our souls I belive that that's just what we have to do no matter what anyone says. And I think that you did a wonderful job of showing that. (if that isn't what you meant to say then I'm sorry but that's what I took out of this poem.)I also loved how you told it from many different angels, and the words you picked were amazing. Well done.

    This isn't one of my favorites from you, I suppose it's just the topic, however you did write it very nicely. I can see a lot of passion in this poem. 5/5.
