After All

the human condition since the garden of eden fiasco

The moon hides it's white light

Behind black veils of clouds

Waiting, Lurking.

An Urge of malevolence

Eminating off it's course exterior,

Calling out to me, to you, to all of us.

It's full surface exposed,

And darkness disguised,

As the veils fall to either side.

It's evil undeniable,

 Seeping into the skin,

And creeping into the hearts of man, and women.

No one is safe,

No one is safe from the maniacal light pouring from the sky.

Force feeding greed, pride, wrath,

And other deadly sins.

The human mind give a feeble futile stand,

Then gives way.

Cause after all...

We are weak,

We are tainted,

We are flawed,

We are...

Human.

 

Father forgive us, we know not what we do.

Wonderful use of descriptive words. I love the darkness this piece has. It's like an eye opener for us all. There is evil in the world and if you are not ever vigilant you will be swallowed by it, because we are already tainted by Eve's actions in Eden. And the final line really hammers it home that we must take responsibility for that darkness because we helped to create it and with our actions we foster it. We hold it to us deep in our hearts with those seven deadly sins, yet on some level we try to not be such willing victims to it all.
This really makes you step back and think. I love works that do that.

Holy Cow, great use of words. Your writing is some of the most powerful I have read. The last line just knocks the wind right out of me. Great piece, although dark and troubled.
