"Destined Minds"

HATE

Hate will make you bitter
from the inside, out

Hate will make you whither
for all the lies you spout

Hate that once your friend
will bring you to your knees bitter end

Hate will become your enemy
for all of your complacancy

so quickly remove the garment
let your heart breath the light
remove the darken sackcloth
and let the evil flee from sight

HATE, HATE, HATE,
I hate, wicked tongue of evil state

HATE, HATE, HATE
I hate, you with a vegence

that my wickered heart remorses not
and my hate I cannot relent for I despise
all you stand for - for I am nothing like you.

My wickered tongue will not relent
till my appetite is satieted in your demise
and though I spout as truth, fools will believe my lies

fool the wicked woman of hate
did not see the end of coming
and her one true friend of truth
did not raise a finger to yield
loves saving grace

and so the friend standing at Heavens door
began to sob the silent sobs
they soon began a streaming roar
as this frightened soul realises
that hate was not a friend

FOOTNOTE: This piece was written after witnessing
a severe spate of trolling and harrassing - I have never
witnessed such unrepentant hate so rampant as others
joined the bandwagon. And not one of her friends
tried to reign her in whilst yet others gladly joined in.

A true friend will not let their friend hate so
turning a blind eye but with compassion and conviction
let the friend know they have gone astray...

DECEIT III

deceit you fool
vile and bitter twisted creature of fate
your strategm of falsehood
that upsets the balance of goodness received

you suck dry the very breath
of those you seek to draw into your web
your guile and duplicity
well practiced to decieve

sincerity is blank ad empty upon your heart
that which craves the seeking after self
has no remorse for those you hurt
and lying is upon your lips

and universal your deciet that seeks a victim
that causes harm to another
and your only remorse is in getting caught
for depravity from your heart is all that drips

so beg not forgiveness for I am not your God
and seek no solace from me for I am not your judge
blinded that you see not you only fooled yourself
so continue to deceive if you will until justice finds you out

for the remorseful and humble man
that seeks to overturn the wrong of such a stand
will do more than make idle words of apology
and commit themself to justice' sake

so in the heart of sickeness and skullduggery
that you willingly partook
will dig out the sin, and cut it free
and hoe the soil of consciousness digging deeply with the cold steel rake

so tear down the facade that revealed your pretense
and dare not come this way again
for you are not welcome here
and fool for anyone that dare let you in

LOVES FIRE

dimly fearless fire lit
ponders listlessly, eager
so dark the sorrowful smile

moping gently, cruel
mad mountaintops run, pompous
placid paternal seeks to protect

orchestra pounds the keyboards
a lover loved so carefully
the misery surrendered both of them
the nice despair gave you a sweet desire
as desire died in me

heartbroken girl loved her so softly
a captivating girl whispered stormy
the desiring of fire that danced

the frenetic rose surrendered
you cuddled a placid breeze quickly
as anguished sweet touched my ear
and a soft flame cried deafening

a burning fantasy died passionately
the languishing heart touched the carnal fire
such love destroyed beyond repair

stormy passion fondled me carefully
a lover kissed a sad passion tenderly
the beautiful girl died
