Vampire of blame

sorenbarrett

In the mirror of condemnation there's no reflection,

empowerment bitten by the vampire of blame

Fangs of denial thirsting for blood as fuel for anger's flames

Bed with the living dead, awakening in dark dreams

Through a monster's heart drive the stake of self responsibility

let it fall in its coffin to not resurrect night stalker wings again

    For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh.

      I know for sure we are experiencing an increased & unprecedented escalation of what seems to be a generalised culture of blame where the pointy finger points blindly in order to place an often unwarranted claim .. but that's not why I wear a dab of garlic behind each of my lobes and carry a silver bullet .. I would stake my life you will get a whole raft of reviews in the wake I have left for others to now find .. Neville 👍

          So very true dear sorrenbarret. Blinded by the very need to believe it is never our fault, our world is in grave and deep denial. Beautifully done as your poems always are. 🌹 Powerful and deeply appreciated 🌹
