A darkness stirs within, as I listen to the screams of some young thing writhing in agony. The trees evilly grin, as my sorrow filled nightmare becomes my reality. I lay in silence, awkward and cold. I hold still, as I do what I am told. There is an aching in my chest, there is a numbing in my knees. I sink into my hollowness in desperate times like these. I wont let them take me.
Deep inside this prison, a darkened evil stirs.
It screams and writhes in agony, as I let it burn.
I watch it flail and crumple, contort, distort and churn.
Alteration taking hold, soon it is your turn.
Needles stinging innocent skin,
No one sees the damage within.
They mold and shape a life of sin,
Just to watch it die again.
As unknown forces tear the sheets,
Spiders feast on rotten meat.
They sing and squirm with little feet,
Making form seem obsolete.
We lay in silence dead and cold,
Holding still just like we're told,
While beaten dumb with laws of old.
With minds destroyed, our souls are sold.
Our children grow as mindless sheep,
We give them to The Man to keep.
God forbids we wake from sleep,
And see the truth of what they reap.
Our death of mind and heart and soul
Is so blatantly held cold
within the grasp of collective told
So we do not see the truth unfold.
So few of us can intervene
We hold a candle in the stream
Letting those who've all but seen
find us in a distant dream.
With closed mind you wont proceed,
A wanton mind must be agreed,
You have to say it yes indeed
Before you find us, guaranteed.
Author notes
It is meant to be complex, and elusive... basically meant to mean whatever you want it to mean.
What do you get out of this poem?

I liked it in all it's complexity. I think you did a wonderful job at explaining your point without trying to "dumb" it down for everyone to understand. But here's the thing. If you say that it's meant to mean whatever one wants it too, then you shouldn't explain what you were going for b/c that takes out the readers own opinion and they see it the way you want them to. Does that makes sense? Anyway, hope all is well and good you you and that adorable son of yours. I love ya woman!

I have no idea what you are talking about and who they are...I wish somehow this was explained. Otherwise the rhyme was very good.

good read but too complex
I understand little, yet I was able to read to the end...it is as though you are referring to darkness that prevails in society as things are left to evil.
