'the ones'
the last two hearts
sat alone in the dark
fettered by shackle and chain
cold black’ards cast them apart
man’s sins heaped on them as blame
for humanities flaws like falconry claws
to kill �?in nature’s precise game
of survival amidst the turns and the twists
we treat as distant and bane
though we’re all in the mix of nature’s fine fix
weather blessed or marked for disdain
the further we track from Mother’s dear pack
the more there is cause to refrain
with fate at the door �?grim reaper and more
our Monopoly won’t save us from pain
-
the last two hearts
sat alone in the dark
‘mid shivers and rattling chain
as they slow-waste ‘way �?all their jailer’s can say, is
‘awwwww �?nahow ain’t that a shame�?BR>as death whirrs ‘round with a sickle-cycle sound
like the whir that come through a maze
wi�?blades all ‘round spinnin�?like clowns
bent on a murderous craze
yer walls grow-in and bones grow-thin
as rats come in like a horde
and while the whippin�?lord �?ne’er get bored
flayin�?skin off bare-backs with a grin
now - as they lay-beat - atop fecal dripped heap
as death she mercifully implores
we all fade away the very moment of the day
when man’s cruelty we choose to ignore
since one undue lash and one unjust act
makes us all at fault for the gore
the last two hearts
tremble ‘lone in the dark
fingers entwined in a weave
legs wrapped ‘round �?arms hug sound
‘cause they were never adapted - they believe
so
to pass arm-in-arm �?against blackard’s charms
is better than cutting to run
since hearts that’ll die over living a lie
are what the universe honour as
‘the ones�?BR>
i wish,
m
not very well said �?but �?what i want to say i believe worthy

This is beautiful written Mikhail! Especially the descriptive heap! Stella, I still own that book from Junior High School lol. Also, "Lord of the Flies" and "The Scarlett Letter." Aren't some of these books banned now? lol. |

Well written, as always, Mikhail, dark and meaningful. I like Stella's quote too, and it brought to mind one I read a while ago ... "There are no unwounded soldiers in war" but can't for the life of me remember who said it. Wish you could do audio, especially with this one, Mikhail, Zy |
