Description Perched above the darkened Earth
I watch the toils of fallen souls.
Some are struggling from their birth
others seek to gain control.

Screams of torment fill the air
aftershocks from sin and shame.
Beat their chests and pull their hair
scorch themselves with words of flame.

Stalked and hunted, every one
some in ignorance, some aware.
Devoured daily by their lusts
and yet they burn without a care.

Always thinking of themselves
crucified on crosses of greed.
Placing dreams on dusty shelves
a sacrafice to mammon's need.

Wrapped and buried in their sin
isolation is the norm of life.
A plan to make them whole again
to shield them from their chains of strife.

Sadly shake my head and wait
until a call for help I hear.
And as they open hellish gates
I cry for them with Bloody Tears...

Now this, this is just extremely good!! Yes, I see the spiritual undertones; found them at once, and I think I already got my own interpretation of this poem... ... Somehow everything seems to come out in this poem in its true, evil form... Well, basically I could talk about this for a veeery long time, so I will simply say that this is an incredibly good poem, a definite favorite, a very dark, painful, truthful poem... very well written. Oh yes, I LOVE this one.

Excellent, so excellent in fact that one cannot help but read this and not be convicted within for sins we commit and have committed every single day. You covered them all with acuity. It is a powerful poem.

Hmmm.....not much of a believer myself, but I am familiar with the literature enough so that this appeals to me. Very good rhyming with that too. When you said Gothic I thought you meant painful....but this was more than I expected. Spiritual and exemplifying pity too!

By the way, for those of you who dont know already, while writing this poem I defined mammon as the all consuming desire for earthly gain that we spend our entire lives aquiring and all eternity paying for.

Also money will work. Bow down to the almighty dollar yaknow? Whew, 3 poems in one day...I am going to bed and collapsing like a pile of jello (not very poetic I know, but I am all pooped out.)

Peace

Wow, this is DAMN good. No kidding. I like the imagery, a bit too gorey for me at the moment, for once I'm in a kinda happy mood. hehe. Well, I love this poem, like the man kinds struggle that is filled with so much greed that we are likely to not succeed, and then there are people like poets and artist and such that see the world and see the greed and we watch from the sidelines crying(sometimes laughing) over what we see. This is beautiful. =]

Teach me to rhyme! lol
