PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

with but the beads alone

to make a shallow quandry

such ponder

so like jewelry

attempts to enhance

a farther idea of self

do dreams know their place

are they discarded victims of one's unspoken

fancy

slant filled propaganda

for the slippage of hope

the churlish behavior of the careless many

emulated out of greed and ignorance

splendor tarnished

by the darkness of envy

making dreams

not quite as innocent as they once seemed

members of the wrong few

have such a hysterically documented ability

to contaminate the rights of the remaining

innocent

dreams in the confines of a dark, disturbing mind

bring chaos and destruction

with devastating results

upon the common working man

Hitler's dream

the perfectly executed example of horror

as hopeful as a noble sounding idea

as it began a unified German state

came to personify the darkest handful of years

to the collective Jewish memory

the Holocaust echoes of torture, persecution and

execution

fueled by hate

Darkness and evil's greatest find

proving beyond the use of simple words

that the Wrong Dream in the wrong hands

ecapsulates

the absence of hope

and the self evacuation of one's soul

leads to the repeticious misplacement of love and good for humanity's children a sign

"RESIST" taking just such a path at all costs

RESIST

do not let the sun set forever upon our great earth

instead

allow your own innocent light from within

to ferret out and extinguish the evil in other men's

dreams

take up the banners of God

love, peace and brotherhood

harmony and charity

and steal from the darkness its very own prosperity

from the markets of hate..............
