Step off the Edge

Do you hear it?

The cries of the archangel ring in your ear,

You fool...it is but a demon in disguise,

You've heard that record too many times,

Fallen for the sweet nothings it's whispered to you,

Captivated by the subliminal message you have yet to see,

You only see with your eyes,

See what's in front of you and not behind the lies,

This record is scratched and broken,

Repeating the same phrase for eternity.

Can you do it?

Can you save others from the pain?

That's an awful long drop you've got there,

Let's hope the angels have looked kindly upon you,

But you don't want to be saved though it would seem so,

This is not to save yourself from the guilt,

The hate,

The detestation,

Your body is an infection the plague upon earth,

Just another virus in the mix of the grand scheme of life,

Look down my brother this is where we stand.

Join me where the heat is delectable,

Your body may not be here,

But your soul already resides,

Look down my brother this is where I stand,

Will you save an innocent soul or spit tar in their face?

Come...step off the edge,

For without me you are nothing,

A husk of the person you once were,

What you see is a putrid lie,

The man you see is not you,

You think you cause happiness to others?

No I am sorry my brother but that is not true,

Come...step off the edge and at last seal your fate,

For the man of innocence you think is you...

Is the but a shadow in the angels place.

"Will you save an innocent soul or spit tar in their face?
Come...step off the edge,

A amazing poem. I like the places and thoughts in the poem. Some questions are answered with life or death. Thank you for the excellent poetry.
