Naked Eye of Deception

I rebuke you, with your uncanny smiles
and impish eyes.
Hands dripping with malevolence,
as your evil motives sink mortals:
oblivious and innocent (laughs)
in ingenuous faces,
with a radiance of magnificence
and a passion for anguish.
Soft cries,
howls of pain,
sultry deliverance of distress,
poor boy souls,
wandering eyes.
Love to no avail
sets a trail of freedom
beyond reach,
salvation, a contemplation
drowning in their minds,
a concept lost with the idea of peace
and freedom no longer rings;
only a dial tone of never ending destitution.
Deprivation out of character
as the script blows in the wind
and life becomes a reminiscence,
built around misconceptions and dreams
unreachable to humanity
as the race continues
with tired, worn, used shoes
fit for the king himself.


Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
