A poem about life's justice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Sweet And Meek

Only the

Greedy survive

 

The selfish seem to be

The ones that freely thrive

 

The sweet and meek

Are lucky to

Be briefly alive

 

Soon their swelled

Bodies will surface

With the high tide

 

Their mothers

Shake their heads

And wonder why

As they cry

 

They should have

Taught them not

To walk the straight

And narrow line

 

Their sons and daughters

Should have lived

The seedy and deceptive

Lifestyle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Thanksgiving still reminds me of my past life. I can't help but feel that the most corrupt win in this life. I'm still angry about being cheated. Hopefully this feeling or belief will fade in time.

[just take a breath]

i like it :) its shows how angry you are, but in a controlled manner. the only things i don't like are how the stanzas are formatted, but that's my opinion haha, and i think you could add a little more detail

Very dark Poem, filled with resentment, anger! Well exspressed and wonderfully written!

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This is dark and disturbing. You really scared the daylights out
me with this one. This is a place we all know, yet fear to acknowledge.

sadly enough it's true the evil seem to thrive more, the meek and weak don't know how to push through the evil, so the evil consumes them. Great poem!

[Jibey]

I understand how it feels - and your words convey the bitterness and regret of it all... It will pass...though some scars will remain...but they make us what we become...

I really got into this poem here.
And it ended abruptly.
'briefly alive'. Is my favorite bit.
Good read, thanks for writing.
