A Demonic Humanity- A poem of dark insight and oppression
A Demonic Humanity- Living in the eyes of a tormented soul
Chains have indented my ankles from clamping forever
And yet it seems like yesterday I saw my freedom
Yet it was only a drink of water, a moment of courtesy
A genuine smile met with a thank portraying gratitude
It was the trait that labeled humanity a symbol to believe in
That had become a shadow people fear to step into
It seems like only weeks ago, people would greet casual in peace
Now a grunt, a shy glimpse at the very least
Why has all this come to be
What fades as a whole once called humanity
My eyes have been scarred; strained to judge with distaste
Been down the dark alleys; seen the truth of lies face
I've heard the misfortune that rings the ears of the damned
I've danced in the blood that became the earths sand
The constant sacrifice, the meld and twists of pain and treat
The very birthstone granting path, the very ground beneath our feet
It's when we forget what and when recognized
It's when our lives feel constrained by lies
It's living in puppeteers skin, painted forever with that fake big grin
It's what portrayed in the face, while what's inside is blind in place
It's the tombstone we chisel, the future we bring
The angel's that shut nightmares with hopes voice they can sing
It's when the dark and the light mold and bend
And label eternity, the day, tomorrow, and the future we spend.
