You Got The Knack

             I shall endeavor to tell you a tale so well
             The devil himself shall be chased from hell
                  It began in a place called earth
                 Peopled with beings called mankind 
               Surrepticious, sycophants are they all
              Paying heed to evil, at its beck and call 
         Inasmuch as they do try I am forced to ask them why 
         They are the only being that will kill and then cry
                   If there is a God above or below 
               I am sure he pities those who don't know  
                   Shadows grow long and everlasting 
                  Within the foundry of their casting     
                       Terror invaded the souls
                        Worming and  squirming
                       From  out of their holes 
                         Kissing up to those
                               In power
                                I kill
                                 only
                                   1   
                      
                       They tell me the di is cast
                    Only, to set me up to end up last
                     Ah vaguely I have sought to see
                 The reasons they have for destroying me
                  Subtle they talk behind they're backs
                     Saving while destruction reigns
                      flowers smell of bloody veins 
                 arteries congested with deadly plaque
                  Saying hey buddy,"you got the knack."

"Peopled with beings"... I love that. Kind of like sprinking toppings on a pizza. Put to many on it, it gets ugly, and everything goes south. I'm not usually into Dark Poetry, but I did enjoy this one.

Troub, A very thought provoking and ultra-emoting poem. Once the format is lined up it will be a bit easier to read, however ty for explaining it. The title is fantastic as well! ginga
