The Veil of ViolenceA Poem by Joshua
Hold it back,
all that you believe, and soon the truth reveals what has been concealed amongst you in the eyes of the unreal. For what could ever represent violence more than what lies buried, beneath the clothes you wear? It must be the pain and blood, that attracts you more than the pleasure and happiness, that brings love to the door. For what other reason could one possibly vindicate, a life less loved and a consent towards hate. Though you see the bloodshed not a tear is felt, instead a fear grows within, something deep, that you dread. Fully aware it is to see, anger arise at a glimpse of nudity, I try to understand because I thought love is beauty and anger twas hate. Oh how I was duped again, for the two are one, polar opposites of the same coin. Therefore it is the coin that I must examine to learn from my desires, the fugacity of its existence pretending to be permanently residing in my kingdom of hearts. © 2017 Joshua |
