Poetic Justice

Words bleed deeper than their river of ink carries…
Sound floats on angels wings and plunges to the depths of hell…
A whore loves as Rome ruled…powerful, tactful, and destructive…
We are the Gods of our own wars…
We are the royalty of our own kingdoms…
Our Captor and our Calvary…
Our Savior and our Reaper…
Kill not your brother without a knife to your back…
For to do so would be murder…
Only an eye for an eye in a perfect world…

Perhaps it is time as long as no one has a hidden knife. *G* Excellent write. I enjoyed it. Respectfully, Rett: "For all you Scrooges who don't like Santa Claus or the true meaning of Christmas, BAH HUMBUG! For the rest of you, MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Rett

Very clever and powerful write

What is a sin? Who will be the judge? this piece says to me. Thank you for provoking these thoughts, I appreciate provocativeness. ID
