"The Emerald Society"

"The Emerald Society"

A Poem by Sarah Ahmed

Speak of love, and love will speak
Love will seek to perish weak
But do I speak of such deception?
Let's go deep with each perception

Let's look closely in our consumptions
Scornful eyes of lost assumptions
Let's speak truth of the emerald society
The trace we face is but our physical anxiety

An unfair trade with the deepened much played
With indignant oppositions to the faults of the blade
Let's care not of our wrenched emotions
But of knowledge with despair in our shameless demotions

Let's be clever with immoral states of shore
I'm an odd for an even, where the justice is my core
And the river of irreverence has drowned in the ocean
And the ones of such ignorance are false in devotion

Teach the lacking young, the importance of oppression
Be clever with the tongue, and veil the lies of every lesson
A contemptuous obsession of the hand in all depression
Remove the clenched impression, for its place is in suppression

Pride is but washed in the calm of our wave
In our wave must contain but of sin we engrave
We engrave such corruption in the ones we shall save
In our save must contain the uneducated brave

Slavery will beg in the need of compassion
To act on disobedience is truly my passion
Teach me the rules and purpose of power
Talk of such fools who will fill us in our hour

Speak not of much in the needle of affection
Ones of all but touch are misguided each direction
Protection of infection, injection we shall give
The dead will never die, as the alive will never live

A nice example of writing in balance with tone.
