A Demon's Halo

by Ashleigh Skye   Oct 29, 2006


Innocent until proven guilty,
yet the judgment will never cease,
unspoken words of hate and spite,
and a demon on the streets.

Watched through every window,
a marked man in the crowd,
hateful stares and harmful whispers,
loom like an overhead cloud.

Black listed by society,
before any judgment has passed,
condemned to walk in solitude,
in the footsteps of those outcast.

Forgotten are the strengths,
the fond memories of what used to be,
all that's left are these accusations,
bringing waves of pain and misery.

Blinded by the fangs,
a halo goes unseen,
another angel falls between the cracks,
in society's attempt to gleam.

    A Demon's Halo

    The last line lost me. Sorry if this is blunt but I belive it's true. Ypur words had me and your imperfect rhyme scheme worked, but when I got to that last line I lost the grasp and the poem just fell apart. You could fix this by making the last line in your poem stronger, this would fix your problem.

    Great read anyway.
