GOOD's DEAF, BLIND AND MUTE

Hear, See and Speak naught of Evil

Hear naught of Evil,

His deceit becomes truth.

And possible, impossible.

Evil wins and You lose.

Evil whispers,

Good shouts.

Good’s a lake,

While Evil’s drought.

Though we crowd desp’rately.

Around Evil’s form.

Awaiting water to quench,

Throats parched and Conscience torn.

 

See naught of Evil.

Evil is a luster,

Reflecting weakly from Good,

Taunting the fools closer.

Yet Good is the Shining Sun,

Glaring right beside us.

Silent and despairing,

As we stupidly trust,

The Angel we don’t know.

The Evil we follow…

 

Speak naught of Evil.

His language surpasses cunning.

Overcomes all human intellect,

A fire the tongue keeps fanning.

Good is dialect,

Tritely comprehended.

A lingo once appreciated,

Evil has now

Mu…f…fled…

love the picture - and concur with Amanda - screw the rhyme ha your words are powerful - vivid diction indeed - a strong poem - "Speak naught of Evil.
His language surpasses cunning.
Overcomes all human intellect,
A fire the tongue keeps fanning." - great lines there! nice!

This holds such a profound, metaphorical magic that speaks to the day and speaks across time... Intricately voiced and gripping.

[Amanda Dawn Sanderson-G..]

Who cares about a rhyme scheme when you are speaking as you do? I sure as hell don't care. I am (always) quite fascinated with your words and your beliefs and I know why I've met you... it's clearly into view. It's so you can voice your heart and I can use my soul in attempts to try to tackle the evil in this world and make better lives for us all.

So, thank you for your words of wisdom, dear friend... I am always here for you so keep spitting the truth.

[Coyote Poetry]

Great words and true statements. Can't allow the evil men to control the world.
"As we stupidly trust,
The Angel we don’t know.
The Evil we follow…"
The Devils can wear out outfits of kind and gentle people. Waiting to steal the food off your plate. Thank you for a outstanding poem.
