FALLEN ANGEL
Clenched fists
Salty rain
Society you’re the one to blame
Ignored the truth
Plowed the weak
Now revenge is what they seek
Opened fire
Now you cry
Tell me how it feels to die
Executed slaves
Of conformity
Who look down upon you and me
Paybacks a bitch
So were you
Now you’re the target, what do you do?
Exploited differences
To prove your better
Now lye’s your name in their final letter
Broken wings
An angel fell
Man’s created another hell
Displayed the hate
You showed for me
Cast away…don’t pity me
All I wanted
Was to be accepted
But from your world I was rejected
Years of torment
Have built this up
Because no one really gave a fuck
I did not choose
To become this way
Maybe you’ll learn from your mistakes

Nice job. The ABB singsong pattern works well, love how tone/theme contrast the way many singsonged pieces often work, being all cheery and all. Enjoyed the poem, thanks for sharing

ReplyDeleteThank you everyone!! .. I think being a musician I indirectly compose my poetry to adapt to song form. It was written to what would be the eyes of a school shooter. Im glad that my brass, real to life, words dont push people away with the reality i try to portray. I write about everything, good or bad.
