Damnation

Reflecting on some things

Damnation

Life, it’s beautiful,

But what’s beauty worth, when it’s been stripped of it's innocence?

We were sworn to silence, and so our silence will not be broken,

but there are those who feel the need to speak what was asked of us to never be spoken,

We’ve walked these streets everyday -we have to,

Dreams now filled with violence and hate, of past hurts,

And past rapes, I hear the screams echo against my skin,

 my flesh cools,

As across my vision blood pools, immobilizing me with

Scenes of war; ancient blood feuds,

Where the earth wasn't safe for Satan himself,

Where all were damned, where humanity fell........

Just thinking about how bad our world is getting

I reckon where the world is now can't be that much worse than where it was during the world war eras and hundreds of years before then, only difference now we know about much more of the bad s**t that goes on than what ordinary people did back then because we're globally connected by media. The worst times are still yet to come...
Anyway I loved your poem it was well written and I will be reading more of your work, I've found it rather intriguing thus far.
Thanks for adding me too :)

True.........it is a good start......but a piece of advice......you've used the words,'my flesh cools'......actually it sounds a bit odd.....instead you can use 'my flesh shivers to death' or 'my soul trembles to endless space'.........again to you also.....it is your genuine work.....it's just a advice........i appreciate it........good luck for future...!!:-)

Thank you so much, im open to new ideas and others' opinions. I appreciate it, and what i mean t by the part where is say's,"my flesh cools". It was simply an expression in a way, sort of how you get when a cold shiver runs down your spine and your whole body breaks out in goosebumps and you feel as if you're cold. But you're right, thank you!!

[Gamitsuki]

i told you before also, it is your choice what to write and what not to.......we are just advisers here.........and it's my pleasure......no prob......:-)
