Misery

by Idiosyncratic   Sep 11, 2005


The weak, the elite
The best at misery
A fragment of strength
In a blood-sodden sea

Riots of pain
Knives clenched in tight fists
Drip by drip
Wrist by bloody wrist

To suffer, to search
Soul-based demands
Clamor slowly ahead
Weak voices, limp hands

Hands clasped in prayer
For what, they don't know
Desperate for a sign
Although it won't show

Teaching others their ways
Spreading their lies
Eyes closed, heads bent
Palms toward the skies

They end their lives with knowledge
Of what comes after death
A place of peace and happiness
When they breathe last breaths
And they know others who don't believe
Now face the fiery depths

    Veryy good. This poem was excellent. It was oddly confusing, yet crystal clear.

    My favorite lines:
    They end their lives with knowledge
    Of what comes after death
    A place of peace and happiness
    When they breathe last breaths

    Great job!! 5/5
