There are lies that overwhelm me,
Consume me rather, endlessly –
So bad, that now I’m blinded.
I’ve been divided
Between rights and wrongs,
Too busy listening to sad songs,
My hands have become so bloody,
It’s condensing this room that I can hardly breathe.

Now I crawl on my knees, screaming at the voices in my head,
All the subtle whispers that have been said...
I carry to crawl onwards with them prodding at me with a stick,
The one with unforgiving words that prick
My skin as they prod, jab and probe.

I crawl out to the rooftops of madness and depression,
There I stand, seeing my future play, its own destruction,
The sun is smothered by smoky thick clouds,
There are rioting crowds
In the streets, setting alight corpses
Like torches,
This is their desire, this is their depression,
Upon them the enduring recession
Of lies, and more lies.

Flames lick the smoky sky,
Ashes that rain down on the world beyond,
Lives that are lost,
Homes that are destroyed,
Memories bludgeoned,
Bodies that are bruised,
Hearts that are cut,
The tears of a child,
The tears of a mother and father,
The tears of a lover,
The tears of a grandmother and grandfather,

Tears of a fallen angel,
Tears of a misunderstood demon,

Riots will run the streets,
Dark poverty among the desolate backstreets,
Blood lust and free-for-all,
Crime, mast of disguises,
The human race, Neo-Darwinism,
Praying for a miracle,
Crying for your God,

My mind is beautiful,
Our world is great,

Mothers and Fathers,
Brothers and Sisters,
Lay down your reaching hands,
Because there is no God or saviour,
We are our own beliefs,
We are our laws and crimes,
Our wrongs and rights,

Our human sadness.

Is this a poem? If so, you did very good. Have you ever thought about taking up a job in writing music? I'm impressed. It makes me depressed just reading it. But hey, you did a great job. I was serious about the music writing business.

Man, will you believe me if I say you're the new "Charles Baudelaire"? Your poems are outstanding and that reminds me the style of this famous French writer. Honestly, you should write a book of poem in the future. Well, that was another great poem, just keep up this good work

Wow, Laian, I'm flattered! THE Baudelaire!! I actually have written a series called 'The Chronicles of a Paramour'... but I can't seem to find them! I'm morbidly upset!! But my poems will continue!

@j4m3zizk0olo07: it is a poem, indeed, James. I used to be in a band [started as a drummer > bass > backing guitar > lead / vocals] then I went solo and wrote some of my own songs. Then I turned to my studies, and moved to art and poetry. And here I am.

Much appreciated guys, you've made me beaming!

SourcedRemorses :
Honestly, Charles Baudelaire is one of my favorite writers and one of my favorite books is "Les fleurs du Mal". I still have the book somewhere in my room because I studied this book at school in the past, indeed the next chapter... yes we already know it, I fell in love with this book

As Queen sang: "The show must go on". Don't worry, you will find your series, man, just keep calm and take you time, we already have your good poems to read and enjoy
