Colorful Indifference

A sabers thrust upon a chest
colorful indifference
what a mess

Kindness stricken from your grasp
your ugly words discriminate
still living in the past

Retched creations so morbid a sin
horrid words in these times
we must be men

Tears have fallen for so very long
making yourself the victim when

your the one thats wrong

    Powerful piece and Magnificent take on the prompt Sweet Soul

    I like this, but in the end I get confused
    "Tears have fallen for so very long
    making yourself the victim when
    your the one thats wrong"

    I am not sure what your saying here, if you are saying the ones discriminated against are wrong, or if the dicriminators are wrong, I hope you mean the discriminators. Please send me an IM to clarify, I may just be reading way too far between the lines. Thanks!!
