Poem – Page 86 – Simon A Jackson

Army Of One

Bathed in the brilliance and watched the moonWhatever you said they’d have labelled you a loonHeretic to the darkest artsClaiming every word you spoke was a farceBut truth be told they knew it was trueThey just refused to admit it tooSo charges were swung your wayThey schemed and hoped that’d make you fray You didn’tContinue reading “Army Of One”

Bait

You ask for a handWith a smile so faintNails blood redSmelling like fate But you were a lieSerpent in disguiseStrike like a flashLeaving an open gash You offer an earAs you speak so lowEyes burning brightHoping to know But you were a lieSerpent in disguiseStrike like a flashLeaving an open gash Claim you can helpBattingContinue reading “Bait”

Scratch The Skin

There is no cure for the itchIt permeates through my fleshDroning on the same detailReminding of how I’ll failAnother stitch in the lineRunning out of timeThen the mold will be setHardened by the problematicA view to my tainted shellVictory of the spellLocked inside these four wallsDefinition to the foolsWhile I bicker with myselfA cage ofContinue reading “Scratch The Skin”

Finality

Eternity seems so far awayGive me another shot before adrenaline’s decayCause when all is said and finally doneWhat will be left for each and every one?Maybe a picture meant to help you recallOr perhaps that is something for which you should not fallCan’t give a reason except to say it existsBall your hands into tiredContinue reading “Finality”

Precipice

Continue to cling to that ropeAs you ascend up that slopeYou can escape the pitYou just have to believe it Don’t align with suicideThis doesn’t have to be the end of your rideIt may be bleak now but just hold onCause once you go you are forever gone Things change and you can tooDarkness doesn’tContinue reading “Precipice”

Conqueror

You sent your ships out to the seasPlundering goods for your own easeCollecting all that you think is yoursAnother heart of ash and coldThe winds of change are long lostYou know we can never cover the costWhile the waves batter our skinThis venom secretes from nothingBattering the bones of the fewYou have only lies toContinue reading “Conqueror”

Controlled

Following orders you can’t comprehendYour ruling is little more than pretendJust a puppet for the masterIts why you’re filled with disasterNo ability to say a coherent thingYou only know parrotingAnother statement from aboveIts why you fail in the momentChoice of words that doesn’t fitPretty sure you don’t understand itVocab of a little kidAre you sureContinue reading “Controlled”

You And I

You want a haven?Lets be brazenBuild a bridge across the starsImagine how we could go so far You want a future?Use of sutureForge a road less travelled onThey’ll never know where we’ve gone We want decisionNo forced revisionLock the door and make a choiceTogether we have a unified voice We breed joyNever be a ployJustContinue reading “You And I”

Mirage

I saw a sight that I don’t believeIt can’t be real for me to conceiveJust a mirage to my eyesAn illusion of my fractured mindSo I walk across the sandDesperate for a change in landMy body weak and my soul corruptSome might want to call it justBut I just want a place to restA chanceContinue reading “Mirage”

Wrap Yourself In A Flag

Another claim about how fair we areWhile killing those who don’t obeyJust wanting them to go awayA finger on the trigger to force your agendaMoments before your next benderDrowning what you don’t agreeCovering what you love in filigreeWhile praying to the colours of your flagSickened at the burning crowdChanting for your very endJust as theContinue reading “Wrap Yourself In A Flag”
