A Work Of Art



Nothing will appease an evil unleashed.
Historically deceived.
Although visually attacked as abstract,
To have its origin re-created.
Fictioned to defend a scene,
If focused upon...
Many will agree,
Is a depiction of reality not yet to be seen.

Fables embellishing,
Known told to exaggerate...
Decades as a way of life to live as is.
Addressing to prioritize,
Symbolizing fantasies.
Until idolized to worship.
In minds to actually be there to exist.

Leaving behind,
The truth to reduce to a nothingness.
With a promise,
A prescribed bitter pill advised to take...
Daily before Sunrise.
Eliminates the sour taste of yesterdays.
Erased.

And...
Miraculously acts of evil practiced.
Day in and night out.
Suddenly from memory disappear.
Along with wounds,
Perceived inflicted personally.
Begin to be considered,
Scars of pride and kept dignity to flaunt...
A work of art that identifies what it takes,
To tolerate, participate and accept...
What others exhibit to expect it sold,
Has no lasting value...
Eventually to discover by those told,
Evil unleashed upon others.
Believed left weak and meek.
Display the power of their faith,
Better known by the Earth.
Where all and not a few from birth return!
