When the Gavel Falls

Life sometimes seems so over rated ,and under paid.
slaves to society....or lonely and irrelevant.
Drowning in the emotion of our own pain we gasp for air.

So many people...yet no friends.
so many jobs ...yet the homeless.
so much money..yet so many BROKE'n homes.

The living we abuse,toss aside.
Yet there are those that celebrate the dead.
Confusion fills the air with a musk scent.

So many drinks to promote energy.
So many drinks that promote illusion.
So many pills to promote sleep.
So many pills to engage insanity.

The power of thought translates.
Energy fields make it true.
yet striving gets us no where.


Who do we believe?
Catchy phrases,meaningless words.
lies seem to scatter this earth with abomination.
As we destroy our own Gifts,and bring about our fears.
Destroy our earth,and contaminate our relationships.

Humanity rest's on the jury, as the gavel falls.
Who decided we would be so jaded.
Disciple's of the unknown..right...wrong.
Who decides our fate,as we have to make our own decisions.

Everyone is different,yet so alike in hidden spaces.
Not allowing people to see the truth,yet the irony.
The truth shall set you free....

So many lives taken,on purpose.
So many lives given by mistake.
So many family's torn apart.
so many enemies contriving together,
just to hurt one another?

The world cuts,as we pour alcohol on  the wounds.
We deliver our selves from sin,just to commit again.
Preachers hold the book of truth in their palms.
We read the verses that best suit our form.

Humanity is what we make it, what a mess we have created.
All arise...court is in session,the jury should decide,
Who is guilty,and who is not,......decides a mans fate.
Yet in the end there is only one judge....GOD.

 

Where will this world stand , when the gavel falls?

    stanza 3 and 5 are great. 6 is beautiful, well written and oh too truthful. This: "We deliver our selves from sin,just to commit again.
    Preachers hold the book of truth in their palms.
    We read the verses that best suit our form." and the last stanza and line are what makes the effect the poem has on the reader, i think. this was one of my faves of yours when you first read it to me.

    thanks for commenting

    I am writing on humanity and how twisted this world is , they give poeple the right to Decide if a man should be put to death or incarserated poeple who are judgmental and have no facts are deciding a mans fate .humanity walks around with a whip in there hands casting judgment when who are they to decide what our soul has intended.This worlds humanity has become so shallow,and blinded by material gain,and judgments,but When it is all said and done I believe GOD is the only one who knows the entire truth,and who can set us free. This is my opinion.

    good write, bad ending.

    "god" is the problem. already too many people have died in the name of god. religious zealotism promulgates and continues to be the source of many thousands of people being killed foolishly every year i like the gist of this write but know that it is us that must overcome our own animosities and pull together to grow as a species. keep god out of the equation and your words are golden!

    Honestly a beautifully written piece, sad how today's world has come to be in this slipping state of detriment... this piece makes me think about people who use way too much emonics in public chat rooms on intelligent poetry sites..lolo
