Desperate beings

by Finalgravedigger   Sep 3, 2008


Looking out on the world they wonder with their eyes,
Curiosity leads them on a leash to hellish cries
Hardly knowing an ounce of greed, just wanting Something
Even society's trash and unwanted could mean Everything.

Reaching an irreparable brink, stripped of pride
Ideals seem senseless as hope subsides
Burning in hunger, yearning for some ease
Willing for anything to cope with this disease.

On all fours begging for a trace of console
Crawling beneath regular human wants in a pitiful hole
Jealousy cannot exist when gazing up at humanity
For how can one want more when purely empty.

Defenseless toward the avarice of inhumane civilization
Always ready to give without a sense of hesitation
Sneaky thieves molest and steal all possessions
leaving ones who try to merciless oppressions.

Left with happiness that only fills fleeting dreams
Trying in reality no matter what the futile means
Trapped by desperation in maze with no gate
Falling down to try only have morals desecrate.

    Wow this was just amazing! What always stands out to me in your poems is your flawless flow and how you always get the rhyme to go together nicely without anything seeming forced or out of place. Great choice of words to create this grueling scene. I was captivated and could imagine everything nicely in my mind with your descriptions. Filled with an immense amount of power and strength really added to the overall meaning.

    Well done.
    *5/5* :]

    Very well put together, but felt somewhat forced towards the middle, but the flow was very well thought out and the rhyme scheme was simply wonderful. Loved the message as well my friend. 4/5

    Sincerely,
