Calculated conscious stroked egos
with words of wisdom, regurgitated
from scraps of sediment
found in each person pillaged
especially the male population manipulated
to believe her beauty (surgical strategy)
came in groves where apples accumulated;
red, ripened and nutritious (temporary)
food for the Soul;
she worked to weave
through thoughts also exsanguinate slowly
their hearts
which showed predator to prey
on Life's Discovery Channel, damage controlled
to an extent by integration of intuition
instead of misguided assumption.
Third Eye binoculars brought the experience
in 3-D to my private residence where respect
surfaced between the lines along with love
for others as Light looked heavenly
compared to seeing Dark in mind's dungeon
with me, myself and I
on acquintance's forehead amidst freckles
and lines from lies to cover imperfections
littered dot to dot
and connected at each Scarlet Letter.
How proud she was to imbed talons,
leave scratches from struggle
to subdue using sensuality advantageously
as her makeshift integrity infused doubts
yet years of observance
took its toll and taught my Spirit vigilance,
not to attach strings or strap others
into an electrical chair as charity
for greedy grotesque amusement
just to be nominated number one
with trail of victim's crimson coagulated.
Passive inner voice, once a victim tagged
(listed in demon's database)
who believed her breath sweet
but witnessed infectious worm in center
was strangled, stripped and left on side of road
where Death (Ventriquilist) whispered:
I told you so-
as forgiveness found strength to say:
I realize now, you were right
all along.
Some sought to hire Hate,
others requested Revenge,
an alternative solution for me
was Karma
while the Libran scale balanced
with weight of evidence
before bailiff
who returned verdict released- Guilty
Punishment handed down to her-
self reflection as restitution
doing selfless community service
in Soul's soup kitchen.
