Twisted Logic.

A study if you will, of the minds of those that think they are morally superiour to most of us.

Failing senses and twisted logic are never far from grasp,

With tongues of lies seated squarely in times mouth,

A new world beckons from men in golden thrones,

A mind will fight for freedom to run upon a new route.

 

Casting circles in sands with no premise of ending,

A finger pushes skin to yield to pressures of lust,

Crowns of thorns are all we need for pious contemplation,

The mirror a looking piece now truth's in the dust.

 

Make haste, make children, make peace are you mad,

Raping women a pastime for centuries of the popes,

Clearing woodlands like darkness lifted investments,

No river has torrents strong enough to wash away hopes.

 

Lay back and think of your Mothers embrace now final,

No longer are innocent if such things capable of you,

A sense of being is all we yearn for in the arid waters,

Learn quickly my fellows for heaven waits for a few

Author's Note

As always, be honest.

I never understand the logic of this world. Each day I get more amazed at the hate and fear. Your poem open the door to many questions answered with kindness and forgiveness. I did many mission to Africa with food, water and medicine. The gifts of kindness open the door to friendship. I agree with your ending. Few will enter the gates of heaven. Thank you for the excellent poem.

I agree, Always be Honest. As you show so well in this prose that pulls me in from the first line taking me on a "trip' of Truths! You give wonderful images that attach to emotions making this a very perceptible. I always wonder why people don't realize time tells all truth. Another great write! ~ Jude :-)

Twisted logic, twisted minds shall only become untwisted by one who walks a straight and narrow path of truth! We must believe in our convictions and remain loyal to make sure we are able to be a river that holds hope, the mirror reflecting life as it really is, and learn quickly!! Yes..........learn quickly!

Thomas, this is an exceptional piece! Well written, fabulous subject matter, and raw. Your first 2 lines, "Failing senses and twisted logic are never far from grasp,
With tongues of lies seated squarely in times mouth" I found to be very prolific of the lack of true communication that goes on in the world. One person's logic it seems is so far from the comprehension of another, and there is a deep seated unwillingness to find common ground. I could go on and on, your poem definitely speaks to many topics. Well done!

I love seeing different takes on common subjects and this was amazing! Good job!

Interesting. This is the kind of poetry I like to read.
There is no shortage of these b******s on this side of the pond, either.

I agree with this poem, and even had to chuckle at the end because of it. Most definitely a twisted world we live in. Nicely penned.

This gives the mind something to think about and take a long look at how the world is changing around us or is it really? Is it now with technology such as it is we are allowed to see all destruction going on that once was hidden.
