One Eye Open
by
Sekhem Psikor Strecker
One opened eye, soul trapped within
With past demise and tortured sin
And deep inside the iris blue
Show your goodbye as ice cracks through
Beneath the film of opaque skin
The blackened blood of hate begins
To seep into the pristine heart
Like an assassins poisoned dart
Growing hatred from clenching fists
And night time journeys of nightmare fits
Fill the empty void with something new
Who gives a damn if it's not true?
Like fakers who fake and liars' lies
They fail to hear the sufferers' cries
The blade digs deep into their flesh
And tears the life-forces' woven mesh
But with one eye open, soul trapped within
The past denied where truth begins
It becomes as fair to steal a breath
As to rebuke a single death
NEXT? Why don't you look at Wanted by: Joyce Hemsley from: Sunderland, England, UK
