As shards of glass embed themselves within the heart of me
My blood runs cold upon the bones of life's insanity
Another death upon the plate to feed the world's demise
Within the wind of discontent, I see all I despise.
The bitter taste of discontent is resting on my tongue
I swallow hard and retch with fear, I know it can't be long
Before I feel the poison that is set within my veins
and all that is inhuman will be eating my remains.
An ill wind blows around me , yet I feel a sudden calm
I'm whisked away in silence and I'm safe and free from harm
The light of hope shone brightly as I asked for sanctuary
Please turn your back on hatred now and journey here to me.

Beautiful write here. Like CricketJeff, I am a big fan of poems with 14 syllables per line, and the feel they have reading them. Nice write and best of luck in the contest with it.

Beautiful fourteeners, so dark but with a ray of light to end. You do dark and foreboding so well!
