Twisted

May the darkness entangle me,

Because if this is light, then I don’t want to be.

Twisted we have become, and straight has become wrong.

I’m different then you, so therefore, I’m naturally the problem.

We have become so blind! Being controlled by paper and numbers!

We think highly of ourselves and less of everything else.

We murder for "sport" saying it’s okay if it’s not our species.

Population control right? Isn’t there to many of us?

Who made those lines? A God you follow? Is he money? Power? Greed? Hunger?

My god is mercy…and I’m called a fool.

But when yours turns its back on you…my God is who you cling too.

This "enlightened" time we abide in is so dark.

But I forgot you are all right and the few are wrong.

So bid me farewell…As I release my soul from purgatory…I feel I’ve served my time.

Just remember my story.

"darkness", "twisted", wrong is right, right is wrong
the unsaid speaks volumes
I think I have some parallel thoughts from your poem in my poem entitled:
Ad Infintium With Unknowns Is A Dream of Sanity for The Outcasts

give it a read and let me know your thoughts

good script

thanks for the writ

This poem resonated with me, I feel like you are bringing into focus the reversed reality of things today. We are guided by things that were only meant to be driven by our heart and intelligence but it seems we continue to seek security, counsel and validity in our instruments. Naturally this would warp our perception on what is truly lawful for our innermost self. It seems this is what you are saying through your poem. It was a meaningful and well written read. Thank you.

It's definitely a provocative piece and gets the juices flowing. Plenty of thought to feast on which is always a good thing. Writing that has layers to it. I like this. Great work!

so much misery is seemed 2 b hidden or buried deep in your accounting words. a lil' phase of wickedly world have you shown here in such captivating & so philosophical words. i believe, we may reduce the pain of life, & tranquilise the aches of heart by letting it slip down in WOW -- "words of world". and you here do this very well. nicely written!
