Do You Know?

cameron187

You do not know,

Of the peace I can show?

You do not know,

That even thoughts can glow?

 

Trust me, but be very caustious,

I am the foe of many,

I make many nauseous.

Many stand against people like me,

Because they simply do not understand,

What it is like to truly see,

Of the good works carved, carved by one hand.

 

I have seen what creature lurks,

In the shadows of this world.

It tricks those who want the perks,

But beware, its fingers are always curled.

Never giving and always taking,

Like a nasty parasite,

Never believing and always forsaking,

Dooming you to a never ending twilight.

 

These perks that people seek,

Wanting the easy way out

When everything seems bleek,

And leaving the host confused about what life is about.

Things like wealth,

Eternal life,

Perfect health,

And a loving wife.

 

But that is where it gets you,

With a horrible and twisted catch.

You won't even have a clue,

Before you know it, you're going off to fetch.

It first starts off with something small,

Like giving up some of your own breath,

But it just gets worse and worse,

Like robbing a mall,

Even putting a man to death,

But you'll be the one driving the hearse.

That will be the catch.

 

That is why I asked if you know,

Of the peace I can show.

If you know,

That even thoughts can glow.

 

I know evil very well,

But I am the ying to its yang,

The sound of ringing bell,

The song that choirs have always sang.

But no matter any enduring hell,

No matter what ghostly gang,

Or cheap tricks they sell,

And no matter how many people decide to hang,

I will always be there.

Dancing through the fire.

Because not only do I care,

But I will always laugh in the face of danger,

No matter how dire

This situation is, 

Or any situation is,

We will never ever be strangers.

 

Do not turn towards the easy way,

But instead towards the future you want.

Do not worry about your dismay,

Or the people who continue to hunt,

For that shortcut in life.

Instead take my hand,

And drop that knife.

Let me show you there is still hope,

That there is a way to cope

With these problems we have,

In this life and beyond.

 

Now do you know,

Of the peace people can show?

Now do you know,

That even your thoughts can glow?

    Nice one Cameron!

    Hello,

    To me this poem suggests about privileges, specifically by gender. And how people should be wanting equality, not "putting a man to death".

    It suggests that people don't like ideas that challenge theirs, but, if people didn't share their ideas, then change and realization couldn't happen.
