Based on being biased

This scene with it's
sense of gloom and doom
resembles an assembly of damned souls
trying to justify their actions
to a mirror on legs called God
 
this is indeed the time for panic
the time to
pick at scabs and grind teeth
react impulsively and return to sender
blunder through vital decisions
and self inflict emotional stress
 
this shapeless enemy
we've embraced deceitfully as a friend
will bend the rules and make us all sorry for our betrayal
and we'll scream and choke
as we're smothered with it's devotion
and then finally killed by it's kindness
 
please erase this information
so that it doesn't exist
please provide your opinion
so that it doesn't matter
please embrace the change you fear

This is a really interesting and complex piece. Its full of raw emotion - a bit of anger maybe and some disillusionment. The final stanza sort of summed it up for me and helped me to understand it more fully, although I think this is the kind of poem you could read again and again and take something new from it each time.

Very well penned
Leaves a lot for the reader to piece together in their own realisation.
Brilliant write Nay

"trying to justify their actions

Incredible metaphors and words! You piece is so intelligent and almost scary for those who believe.
I'm curious about this enemy you speak of, but the ambiguity of the piece allows the reader to think
and form a conclusion for themselves! Great pen....
