REDEMPTION

 

in the strangest places, we find love 

in the darkest corners, we find hope 

peace and war are identical in negotiation 

we clutch to which best suits us 

unlike the stomach, the brain doesn’t alert you when it’s empty

a fool runs his mouth, shooting sporadically

his life may be cut short unexpectedly

bridle his tongue so he can witness his own redemption 

the night is horned by evil 

they lay and wait in darkness looking for victims 

hoping on the ray of the moon to trace footprints

theirs is to kill, maim and destroy 

redemption, a cheap horse we ride on 

a glorious exit of a pilferer 

bickering bigots singing melodies to our souls 

a whore preaching redemption on a brothel bed 

salvation is a fallacy for hardened minds 

their thought process is quagmire 

the end they say justifies the mean

the end I say is retrograde in retrogression 

wisdom is divinely given 

foolishness is freely earned 

to hurt a gentle soul is to pluck off their innocence 

we are all products of our past 

a little sleep for the eyes 

a sinister plan to ensnare your soul 

your days shall be shortened by your thoughts 

so shall your debris be harvested by cankerworms
