War Rages On
War rages deep within my Soul,
With Mystery there to unfold,
A Bomb-Shelled Battleground created
By Outrageous Acts Untold.
Sadly Dreams are weakened
And fade into the night
While Hope refuses to surrender
And rallies for the fight.
Truth is held hostage
By Lies and Hideous Sins
Who hope to crush all Effort
To rescue the Child Within.
Life Blood flows to secret places
Deep within my heart
Carrying tiny footprint traces
And sounds of cries forlorn.
My Heart is wounded;
Blood is spilling;
My eyes stare blankly on
While Bombs illuminate Dark Sectors
To loosen Secret’s hold.
Fallacious Reasoning rushes in
Feigning his defense
Of the Child who’s barely hanging
To all that’s just pretend.
Reality quickly makes his move;
To Truth, he shouts,
"BE KNOWN!"
But Life Blood rushes through my veins
Carrying deep within my Soul
Secret’s lies to which Comfort clings
And refuses to let go.
War rages on.
A Bomb-Shelled Battleground created
By Outrageous Acts Untold.
Sadly Dreams are weakened
And fade into the night
While Hope refuses to surrender
And rallies for the fight.
Truth is held hostage
By Lies and Hideous Sins
Who hope to crush all Effort
To rescue the Child Within.
Life Blood flows to secret places
Deep within my heart
Carrying tiny footprint traces
And sounds of cries forlorn.
My Heart is wounded;
Blood is spilling;
My eyes stare blankly on
While Bombs illuminate Dark Sectors
To loosen Secret’s hold.
Fallacious Reasoning rushes in
Feigning his defense
Of the Child who’s barely hanging
To all that’s just pretend.
Reality quickly makes his move;
To Truth, he shouts,
"BE KNOWN!"
But Life Blood rushes through my veins
Carrying deep within my Soul
Secret’s lies to which Comfort clings
And refuses to let go.
War rages on.

This poem was written when I was in a bad place emotionally, and I was searching for answers. The inner child is okay! She was rescued.
ReplyDeleteMy intention with this poem was personification of words to create characters.
ReplyDeleteWhen I posted this one to an online poetry site, one comment I got was that it sounds like psycho babble. LOL. Yep. I guess so.
