Illicit justice

by janiL   Sep 9, 2007


Don't worry, don't distress;
for in shadows there he stays
living in the darkness,
awaiting to work his ways

whenever fear consumes us,
and hush our deafened screams
or corruption overtakes us,
and evil reigns supreme

in the moment of our greatest fright,
when all hope seems be lost
this warrior of the dreaded night,
with heart of cold and frost

does not fight to save us,
nor right iniquitous wrongs.
he relish in to turn to dust
of those to dust belong

not man, nor god, nor hero
he feeds to shed the blood
of transgressors gone to go;
of society's putrid crud

he may not own intentions pure
and may himself be vice,
but to this world he stands as cure,
unknown to truths of untold lies

now never worry, don't distress;
for in shadows there he stays
living in the darkness,
awaiting to work his ways

    I don't like rhyming too much, it isn't necessary, I want to say that I think (and this is of course just my opinion and I want to offend you) that this poem would be better without rhyming and forced rhyming leaves bad impression.
    Anyway I love imagery, it is absolutely captivating and few lines here are fantastic! Very unique, also you wrote this piece greatly, I will read more of your work because I enjoy in your writing.

    Hey, first i like the title and nice wordings.. honestly, i can picture out a corrupt and chaotic ( whew! ami exaggerating?)government and one stands out among those (i mean stand and fight for proper justice). is that so? if not,l just wondering who are you referring to?

    ok back to it, though i find the poem common and read such setting a lot of times you just made it somehow different from the rest. Keep it up! Good work..
