The Bells

will ring

 

 

 

 

 

There is nothing exceptional

in the poems that I write

though often misconceptual

 you can't miss the bite

 

It is deliberately there

and intentionally cold

as a rebuttal to liars

who need to be told

 

Without our critics

abusers would be free

to attack with self-interest

not only you and me

 

We need to be aware

of what they plan to do

mortgaging our future

and other crimes too

 

When citizens are mute

shady dealings become fact

if allowed to continue

freedom can't remain intact

 

Not knowing what to do

is the normal state

criminals hope this is true

as they seal our fate

 

Being not concerned

about what lies ahead

one must be looking forward

to soon being dead

 

Should this have happened

when we were young

we might not even be here

to hear the tolling bells rung

I think this is really good. It had a nice flow to it. Great job!
