" Poisonous Defilement of Faith"


Deception... the soulless poison
It kills and devestates, with no remorse
A heart engulfed with flames of passion,
when sprinkled with deception,
grows frozen solid, mere melting ice.
A destruction of faith and love
A morbid sacraficing of trust,
a shallow grave
Friends torn apart,
lovers,with hearts offered up as mere tokens
incense to a false god, a god of lies.
The greatest deception, ironically,
remains that which festers in the veins of the donor
The deception of amnesty...
A blurred annihilation of oneself
devouring the soul and mind,....and kills.
Oh,...the sweet taste of retribution
It screams out for mercy,
but that which has not been given
can neither be recieved
For, how much mercy stirs within the inflection of lies?
We sell our souls to 'self indulgence'
with no fear of rendering an accounting...
yet in doing so, kill off the very thing that makes us human
... the conscience !
