EVIL WEEPS

Echoes howl, whispers scream
The voice of the sandman haunts my dreams
As I walk through my concrete tomb .........I shall fear no evil.

There's no reprieval.

Holy tears splash my face
My heart sprinting at a cheetahs pace
Chains of leather hold me to blame
Like a shackled animal ........ trapped in a cage.

A man with a book in his hand
Speaks of God, and the promised land
He says my father loves me, forgiveness I shall have
When I meet my maker at the promised land.

A Feeling of burning........Rats gnawing at my veins
As the hand of justice injects me with pain.
A Feeling of burning........Rats gnawing at my veins
As the hand of justice infects with pain.

As they lay me down to sleep
A tear of fear evil weeps
But here lies a tortured soul......with a mind full of hate.
As a man with a book in his hand prepares me for my fate.

But hatred still haunts me deep within
I don't need the good book ..... I really don't want forgiving

But as they lay me down to sleep a tear of fear evil weeps
As they lay me down to sleep a tear of fear
Evil weeps

As they lay me down

Clear-skies..A truly beautifully written poem.
I love how you made it rhyme,not everyone
can do it.
Keep this gift up as many people will read,even though they don't like poetry.

You have used many words from the greatest book in the world.
I have used them myself.

I admire the way you have used them and expressed your feelings.
Poetry is expression and writing down how you feel.

Well done.
