The Woman with the Blindfold

The Woman with the Blindfold

A Poem by Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere




It’s the human being selling his soul for some money,

praising his worldly belongings, his greatest wealth,

misusing his power, his hold on another, telling the story,

of how good he is, with gold on his wrist, his mouth full of filth.

 

It’s the man who’s losing himself in bullshit and commonness,

always busy with unnecessary antagonizing, the shameless lying

of which he’s the only believer, cursing, blaspheming no less,

it’s the man who’s without a blush, deceiving and threatening,

 

a being with a soul so black as the night, his name gotten bad,

his deeds put in writing, his words seeded on the role of death,

everything he was is weighed, the sword drawn over his head,

 

nothing will stop now the woman with the blindfold to add

to his life the last word she has, to speak justice widespread,

in favour of the working class, GUILTY, as charged, this lad.

I believe we will pay for every action.
"a being with a soul so black as the night, his name gotten bad,
his deeds put in writing, his words seeded on the role of death,
everything he was is weighed, the sword drawn over his head,"
You create place and deadly ending. A amazing tale in the poetry. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

selling out, selling our soul, selling our heart for material things...love finds itself on death row.

Great writing Rudi.....loved every single word...the Greedy and Power hungry without a conscious is far to common in society...The title goes very well with the image and I do wish justice was blind, and the scales were equal among all humanity. Beautiful words...every single one: too many souls black as the night:
nothing will stop now the woman with the blindfold to add

to his life the last word she has, to speak justice widespread,

in favour of the working class, GUILTY, as charged, this lad.

Thank you for the RR Rudi: Just wonderful as always, so engaging...

Thank you, Dale. This was a difficult one because it's the free translation of a Dutch poem I'm made.. read more
I firmly believe that we all pay for what we do in life. If we cause the tiniest wrong, we pay for it somewhere, somehow. I love the image of the Lady of Justice... she will not be duped by fancy visions... justice is blind and therefore will be carried out. A nice write sir!
