Suffer

Why do people suffer so?

If people didn’t suffer no one would be angry

See, our solitude is loyalty

I am an embodiment of death grieving for all the dead souls my slicing scythe chops thoughtlessly into pieces without ceasefire

There is no anti-Christ, just needless vice, for deceiving eyes that see no sunrise

The thorns of honest forests and roses red, weaved their heads through my fabric body thread, and stitched their beds like metal fences, pencil led, and found their way under my waist, and drowned a basement of complacencies, in my hate

And I felt the weight of every drop, and sought to stop the blood flow of tomorrows loss

With yesterday decaying, and present-day unsated lost

The spikes of spite still waded through my mind across

And bloomed in time

A red fired diamond lilac on the limestone

And I rose to violet violence

In isolated silence

Until the diamond snatched away

My pride and privilege I was given and my very ability to pray

And convey my say with wayward words

And my voice was never heard

So the diamond was but a stone, and I found myself alone

As the unsympathetic symphonies blew all their notes

And the hatred only grows

But as I remained quiet in the riot, the rhinestone’s vibrance glowed goliath

And I burned to cinders unforgiving in the winter snow

My cold corpse topaz, amethyst, gold

They mined my mind and somehow found a man, but had killed these people, stole their land

Yet I still begged to grasp their open hands, to not slander me, and leave me damned

To hold my body, fallen as I am

Luminescent plastic Lazarus till the end

To hear them say that I was still their friend

Author's Note

I very seldom reply to reviews, but I promise I read EVERY single one. I look forward to my next review, because it helps me learn. Even if it's just one word, I promise, I will be ecstatic to have the chance to hear what you have to say. Whenever you write something about my poems, or the themes of my poems, or criticize me it is not in vain. I will listen, learn and be thankful.
