Prideful Lies

a rant

You whisper words into the ears
Of everyone your secret fears
That all your words of emptiness
Won’t cure the masses’ loneliness,
Yet all the while you tear apart
The ones who really healed the hearts
Of the downtrodden, the broken
Voices remaining unspoken
In fear your wrath will strip away
Their precious words that light the way
Out of darkness. Yet jealousy
Will not permit you all to see
That you, alone, caused the downfall
Of an empire where we could all
Come together and share our minds.
Instead, your pride has left behind
A legacy of foolishness
And words that are so meaningless.
You have no will but to follow
The blinded ones that are hollowed
From their own selfish, foolish pride
Whose evil hearts no love abides.
You say we are not strong enough
And have no voice. You think you’re tough
By bashing those, who all the while,
Healed those you left in your denial
That they had voices, just like you,
And wished to be successful, too?
You tear and rip my words in half,
Hoping to stir the dragon’s wrath.
You say the “Jealous peppermint,”
Will bring you down? It was the end
For you before it began. Send
Me your hate. I’ll send you a kiss
That’s bound by lies and emptiness,
The same emptiness that you feed
The world with all your selfish deed
To mass produce a world of hate
And bind us to your empty fate.
For you, I have no sympathy
When all you do is b***h. You see,
Nobody cares about a war
You keep stirring. You must adore
Us all because you will not end
This foolish game. I hope you send
Your clowns my way, I do not care
Because I know you don’t fight fair.
I see the stars across my page
Down rated. I wished you’d act your age,
But I guess you are just a child
Still longing for a stranger’s smile.
I will not play your twisted games
Because I think that you’re insane.
You smile at us when face to face
Because you know you’re a disgrace
To those who write from in their heart;
And that, you wish to tear apart

I love this, and the way you went on without sounding annoying. It's really great, the flow, the rage, the imagery, everything. Kind of made me feel like I was in your shoes for a moment, because I know how this feels. Everyone probably does. Anyway, Awesome poem!!!!!!!!! My favorite lines were those,
"In fear your wrath will strip away
Their precious words that light the way
Out of darkness. Yet jealousy
Will not permit you all to see
That you, alone, caused the downfall
Of an empire where we could all
Come together and share our minds.
Instead, your pride has left behind
A legacy of foolishness"

A rant is always healthy to release the tension inside our hearts and the craziness inside our heads.. funny thing is...it's the nasty actions of others that drive us to these pain bodies..x You know...some people just need a huge dose of reality.. and jump off the drama train.. That's why I think I get along with you so well.. your just you ..as is.. xo....

A statment of pure emotion and human anger, sliced wording and a heart to bare to the reader, well done, good read.

[Miss Marie Riorden.]

Anger, anger, and just more anger Alan. This poem reeks of it. Not that that's a bad thing, or is it ?
