You stripped me
Of the vast wealth
I inherited from my ascendants
Enormous tracts of land
That even the eyes
Could not see its limit.
You are a fraud
You tricked everyone
By the power of your social position
And with the stroke of a pen.
I hate the way you talk
I hate the way you smile
I hate the very sight of you
I curse the ground
On which you stand.
I hear the rumbles
Of my own angry heart
I need to get even
See you crawl
And you seriously wish
You were never born.
I am no better than you
I let hatred take over
I sought vengeance
For I am just human.
Such a well-expressed emotion, Rose Marie..... A full 10+++
Thank you, Bernard. Your comment is always a gem to my pen.
I am just human! ! And to err is human. Thanks for sharing.
You have expressed your anger and hatred in very apt words.but your admission in the last stanza expresses your greatness.
Deep sincerity, pain and anger move this strong poem in a very realistic and well written way. We feel it all.!
So true. Revenge is often forced upon us. Could be God willing. There is a limit for being cheated, Powerful penning 10+
So true, there is one thing about a man/woman of rage readily expressed is: there is not so more than what we see, no scheming inside, no hiding the feelings. Now, there is another one with murder in mind, but he/she can smile still.
