Prevarication

Prevarication

A Poem by Vanessa van Gersie

Would you ever dare me? face  to face
 you pitiful beast
Who preys on the ignorant souls of men
feeds on their very intellect and treads upon the wisest of souls
would you ever dare me?face to face
you treacherous,most malignant thing
who tortures,dehumanizes and humiliates our sense of pride
by taking away the breath you never gave
leaving us in a worm infested hand made cave
would you ever dare me?face to face
you thoughtless angel
creating havoc where there should be peace
And war where there should be none
disfiguring the joyful order which was once made
would you ever dare me?
or inflict upon me the wishes of your ill mind
the hell that rages in our world
just because you dared too many
                          hurt too many
and turned too many into robots of your devised plan
But you have already dared me
 that is why we have to meet.... face to face.

Hi Vanessa! You've constructed a wonderful structure, with wonderful wording and metaphors. I find this very astonishing. Love the repetitive questions circularly drawing our attention back to the main idea. The uniqueness of your writing continues to impress.
