The Fact! ! Poem by Mary Amrutha

The Fact! !

Rating: 1.7


I hate those who pretend to be nice
when they are not
I hate those who pretend to be good
when they are not
I hate those people in white
when their hearts are dark


I can't bear this any more,
not any more
I'll use my pen as a sword
in this war with the world
which is dark with those people
who pretend
to to nice
when they are not

but killing one self is a crime
and I don't want the world know
that I killed my self
so I am going to be nice
and I don't want to be,
I don't want to be
one among them...

Dear Mary, Lovely poem this one. I agree that the world is full of hypocrites and a literary person like a poet fresquently opposes this through his mighty sword ie his pen. In this warr I am always with you. Keep it up. So nice. Far far above your age. Thanks! Truth of Creation .................................. ......................

In the first stanza you really identify the enemy vividly with those three drum-beats: when they are not/when they are not/when their hearts are dark. In the second stanza you become a warrior for the side of Light and Truth, but it appears the opposition is too strong and you have to pull back. I guess that's what the title refers to: the fact is the opposition can't be defeated - yet! Keep beating the drum!

I love the agression in this poem! I feel it! Your thoughts are well communicated too. I will like it if people like tat woke up from such self-deception.
