Man, and all of his Ignorance.

The blanket of death is soon
upon this simple society.
And although I feel pity
for the innocence
that will be lost,
I will do as I must...

Just as any living thing would,
to survive.

If you wish to prosper
in this endless game,
stay out of my way.
I will feed on your
unwilling life,
bleeding you dry.

The remorse is non-existent,
for the consequence is otherwise
too great.

In my weakest state
you may find opportunity,
but to hesitate
is an invitation.
I will take even as
you do not give.

I have been created by
the greed of man,
started with a kiss...
And Judas never knew
the true consequence.

Now the rein has shifted.
Giving a new child,
sacrificed in its purity.

Oh yes, the time for this
simple society is soon at hand.
And just as you pray...


The shadow masses.

    The blanket of death is soon
    upon this simple society.

    The most beautiful first lines of anything I have read on this site.

    Straight to the point, I was completely drawn in.

    An incredible and beautiful poem.

    What is so appealing about this write is that fact that you basically told the truth of how how people are getting caught up in squabbles that arent really worth arguing about. Keep penning

    Oh boy, a predator that lives amongst us all, as hate rears its head to devour everything in tis path, do we stand up and fight it or run away too scared to use our own voices to change what has already been done...I know what I do and my voice is a little hoarse

    wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I really really liked this. Truthful adn dark indeed! Firstly the title drew me in thinking it would be about how ignorant men really are I had no clue it was going to be a write about "man" in general. What you say is beyond true. People can sugar coat shit as much as they want but the world is a cold place where only the strong survive.
