Invisible contradictions of transparent
thoughts are not beautiful as the
porcelain flowers planted upon
life’s weak shoulders; while
weighting the burdens of mans
ridiculous hand blown crystal.
I see cracks in the boulders.
Embrace war! Win the battle
of roses? Beware for it’s vile
magnetism it draws out then
deepens the thorns.
Allowing our leaders to morph
into self righteous spectacles.
Could they become inhabitants
Of our spirits, souls?
Draining our innocence structuring,
molding the love left, beckoning
men to war.
“Thy Shall Not Kill”

Good strong penning, I wonder do they ever realise the effect they have on people when they spout their views upon us and try to brainwash us to believe they are right. I am glad we all have a brain and a mind who can think for ourselves.

i always enjoy reading peoples veiws on society, this piece being no exeption. it may always be a mystery, the motives behind sacrificing peacful society for money and power. one could only hope that people recognize the destruction we're causing before its too late. "allowing our leaders to morph into self rightious spectacles"-- such a fantastic line.
