Schemed

The game we never want

My first breathe

Was of love and happiness

Embraced and welcomed

By the mother we call Earth

 

Growing up

They taught me what they know

My empty little mind

Became an extension of theirs

 

Yin and yang

Good and bad

Righteous and sinners

Rich and poor

 

Things were like this

A fact that can’t be explained

A question that I never asked

With an answer that never was

 

And so I fought

For peace and unity

For love and equality

For my Mother’s safety

 

I poured my blood

I cut my flesh

I killed my own replica

All for my Mother’s sake

 

As I lay on the ground

I looked for Mother

She is everywhere

Always around everybody

 

I shouted to her

“I’m dying for you!

Just lay still

You’ll be in peace sooner”

 

Then out of nowhere

I heard a faint cry

No, it’s a vicious laugh

Who could it be?

I know something is missing.

It's very good with an working of creepiness... Good work!

[SimpleMind]

thanks !! I never thought it's creepy though :)

[khalid]

it is really nice to leave the reader some space to think and try to find some answers to clues you mention. if you meant the mother here to be earth, it is really logic because some of this mother's kids work on making her stronger, cleaner, healthier while some others destroy what the first do. what is strange about this mother is..she still loves both of the two teams equally..

very nicely penned...mind provoking but really nice..

[SimpleMind]

thanks :) I hope you enjoyed the riddle :)

[khalid]

i did

I am just going to comment about the writing style and not even attempt to solve the riddle ! :) Very nice writing. It obviously grabs the readers interest, which is the main point of writing poetry, right ? So in that sense it is very good.

[SimpleMind]

Thanks! Seriously, thank you :)

[KurKota]

You are very welcome !
