Hate that's left a bruise.

Hate that's left a bruise.

A Poem by Michael Thrower
"

Oh, you know ;) Psh, poems.

"

Consider yourself warned,

You’ve spoken against truth.

One lie masked in blood,

Hate that’s left a bruise.

 

A speech to bring heart

To the men of your kind

Just to play a part

In what we know as time.

 

In darkness is light

So you say “Why should I?”

One who lives for truth

Should not consider lies.

 

“So it shall be written

And so it shall be done.”

Mockery at its best?

Or compliments we’ve won?

 

Speak against a nation,

Or speak against a kind.

Rid the world of scum,

Through music and a rhyme.

This poem is just what I needed to hear. I just lost a jury rape trial and my offender walked free. This poem summarizes much of how I feel and the words have such flow and feel so natural. Your thoughts are poured out in this piece and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I love this, it's awesome, I'd like it more if the first line didn't make me sing "Consider Yourself" from Oliver Twist, but whatever xD can't complain.

no problem
I love the title of this piece so much I am sitting here seething that I didn't come up with it *laugh* I think poetry is so deeply personal to the poet I have a hard time reviewing it properly, but if I was to say one thing about this it would be I rather wish it had more to do with the title (that f*****g brilliant title!!) than the abstract ideas you have flowing throughout the body of the work. If the message to fight racism or whatever ism you choose was a little more concrete, I think I would have found myself loving the piece as much as I love the title. Not to say the poem isn't good...it is...and I thank you for sharing it with us. Keep up the hard work.
