Anathema Disaster

Anathema, anathema;
Everything is going faster.
Out of control and gaining ground.
Will peace and civility ever be found?
A guess to no and a bet on yes.
Who will be the one to bless?
Cast the die and make the call.
Someone decides to shout for Paul.
I got it wrong it was appalled.
Yet again I have been fooled.
Baffled by the hand of a crook.
The very same one I once shook.
Gloved to hide the fester below.
Moments prior to the start of this lethal show.

Grafter disaster;
Unsure if I have to.
With a shift in the stars.
If only it were gold bars.
Could build a new route through.
Avoid ending up in the stew.
What a dream that would be.
Not being cooked on the count of three.
No voices screaming guilty.
With gazes oh so shifty.
And a smile far too wide.
This figure pretends to be my bride.
Never met her and that puts me on edge.
I’ll be found when the river gets a dredge.

Naivety took its toll.
Ended up as a name on a scroll.
Advantage taken of my soft heart.
It got sold at the local mart.
Only to be skewered by a dart.

Yet again I have been fooled.
Baffled by the hand of a crook.
The very same one I once shook.
Gloved to hide the fester below.
Moments prior to the start of my final show.

Naivety took its toll.
Ended up as a name on a scroll.
Advantage taken of my soft heart.
It got sold at the local mart.
