Scarlet shadows scream, beware
As honesty no longer embodies truth
Conscience detached, between an opaque dreary fog
That lies in between
Varying censorship express predilection
Compromising equality, bias of acquaintance
Distinct honors accumulate
Yet advanced inscription ignored
Distinguished intrigue and trepidation perforate
Yet the scarlet shadows scream, beware
As challenges vary, eradication conveys
An alternate, contemptible
Expressionless expression dutifully distinguishes
Those that represent dishonesty
Supporting and introducing advantage
To those of acknowledgement
Trustworthiness trusts treachery

I agree, the first piece was excellent, and gives us that intro, as to what lies beyond the obscure. By the rest of what you say, I'd prefer to trust the devil I know, here, you show how easy it is to not trust anyone, unless, you've got the odd one or two who you do. Is there still a little caution to the wond I feel? Nice job

I love the vivid imagery, and especially the words 'opaque fog', in the first stanza. Thanks for writing!

"Distinguished intrigue and trepidation perforate
Yet the scarlet shadows scream, beware" I love the beware comments, but do we ever heed to the warnings? -
