PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

they spend their yearnings on a fool

with cobble stones of gossip

all in view

precious driblets of youthful dreams

wasted on one so deceptive and extreme

from across those years

they  still will be taught

so many unasked for things

here is how one is to mistrust

so many are not as they would appear

good is not packaged in a package

labeled good

evil can have the face of an angel

yet the rigidity of petrified wood

and the opaque can often seem so very clear

predators have names

they can seem like regular people

they live their lives and even have

social security numbers

they live in nice little towns

or great big busy cities

go out to dinner

even go to work every day

while they secretly make chaos in the lives

of those they focus on

what they reveal is the mask

of what their current victim  wants to believe

where the actual truth

would scare the most seasoned law

abiding citizen

the facade of the offender

is ultra easily received

the world grows more inter connected

even as it grows more dangerous

its still a cat and mouse game

ofcourse

only the mice grow smaller in size

and the cats mulitply at an alarming rate

hungrier and more determined than ever

before

a dark destroying lesson awaits man

in his future history's lessons

perhaps indeed all was meant to be

but still

the world should keep a more guarded eye

on its most precious commodity

its loving resource of future joi de vive

her children and all their most

tender vulnerabilities

my prayers ever remain with them always............
