Terror Struck!

Trembling Terror
covering the heavens
raining down the blood
of innocents.
The Hammering fist
protest with strength
hanging those to the walls
with nailing fingers
who (also) preach hatred.
Pointed to the faults,
differences of a plea
with prejudice.
Words, sharp razors
cutting the air
silencing the weak
their side
of a multiple truth.
Suffocating,
become the bloody streets
of a once free world.
we slash through
the veils of fear,
misdirection
to find back our way.
Terror for terror.
Where there should be
Love for Love.
I want to bury the hatchet
instead of the flesh
and bones.

This is just something I wanted to write. The whole issue that is staining the world is taking on crazy and large proportions and start to effect those innocents around us. I am happy to be able to talk openly and learn from friends and a lovely lady on this. Princess, I thank you.
ANd then there are also the hate crimes that should stop. We are better than this, right?

Guilty by Default!

I took up on a complex idea triggered by a prompt at  The Reverie,  and had me give birth using my simple minded heart to write you this piece of poetry. May the read touch your heart and explode into thoughts of the mind.

I bet you never seen last weeks Sensual/Erotic poem. You can find it HERE.

Guilty by Default! 

Guilty until proven – 
innocent upon death
Life’s eternity balances 
in the hands of justice
Blind we see life through 
the bars of a cage
jailed by prejudice. 

The articulation
black and white bars 
of the simple barcode
In blood red numbers 
not yet tattooed
on the guilty victims 
and the innocent villains.

Quivering mimicry 
of a witches justice
As if kissing splinters.
made to Drip crimson
Rubies of accused DNA 
the barren lipstick of
our devils perception.

Thought of the day! August 30 2013

Brainteaser anyone?

Fear should never be a reason to give up innocence!

A lesson for the young ladies or an addition to the former post.
