Periods of War

Periods of War

A Poem by Jerome F Knox III pseudonym Nefarious J. Dorsey

I have been beaten by
Silence
I have experienced pain
And violence
Periods of war have been
Waged outside my door
Despite the blood above
The entry way
My doubts have caused
Me not to pray
Anymore as my faith
Only unlocks the doors
Of war
As the hounds from hell
Can tell that I am in
My shell and that
They should not pass
Over me
Because I don't believe
That he has set me free
Therefore despite the blood
Above my door
I am at war
With demons
With ghouls and
Other fools
Including me
Bound forever
Longing to be free
Revelation three twenty
Is no longer funny
There is nothing left
I am deaf
I can't hear the knocking
At my door anymore
A prisoner of war
Who has been beaten
By silence
I have experienced more pain
And violence
Examine the famine
As I hunger and thrist
For the truth
That was lost in my
Youth
As the fruit
My fruit was supposed
To have been forbidden
Hidden
Now I walk through
The valley of death
Holding my breath
I fail to inhale or
Exhale
The mail has been
Returned to the sender
I don't want to remember
That cold night in December
I choose to forget
Still I have regrets
As these periods of
War I must endure
Despite the blood
That is smeared above
My door

I am the new Ultimate troll you will never find who I am. I am hidden :P Alias, you shall think again next time before ignoring users :D If it happens again, I will attack again. You will never know where I am or who I am!

The periods of battle with our past experiences are difficult. It's the feeling that we are marked is what I hear here.... Sad feelings of having to endure another war.

there is always that war with self...and those demons sometimes have more firepower than any actual army that may wage war outside our door.
