They who bring me so many wars
When war is what I want no more
I must watch what They will do
For pain is what They send me to
They will never give me peace
Their provocations never cease
But some things, They can never sway
And that is what I'm here to say
For They have sought me all my life
Beat me down with endless strife
In everything, I've seen it through
Comprehending what They do
So selfish, do They seem to me
Greed consumes them so easily
And I will quietly watch them fall
They ... on their knees before us all
They'll beg forgiveness of their crimes
In their frenzied, broken, twisted minds
But a knife awaits, that They will use
If naively, I accept their ruse
Know this oh wretched, selfish thief
Your ruling days, They be but brief
For time is always on my side
And forever can They not reside

thanks for sharing, dear poet
Thank you. You have always been so kind.
Very well written
Haven't seen you in a while!! Thank you.
The courage and tenacity of the oppressed shines through your spirited words.
It's interesting to me. How may times have you heard someone say, "They will do this...", "They will come after you...", etc.? Just exactly who are they?🙂 Thanks for reading.
Well crafted lines and very meaningful.
Thank you Rozina.
