Poetry

Until the Bitter End

written by: OurSacredHonor

Ask me again what's my purpose
Maybe some day you'll learn this
Can't let life become worthless
Know I don't deserve this
My heart's where the hurt is
Like Stalin, his purges
Red army just surges
Attempting to take away life
Take away the fight
That's inside, that bright light
That yearns and burns
That can't quite be discerned
In the darkness
Where that part is
So mark this
These are my words
They may sound absurd
But if you take the time to listen
You'll catch what you're still missing
So no more ass kissing
Just a venomous snake hissing
Waiting to strike
Like lightning
The fighting
Has only begun
That battle's won
But the war goes on
From dusk to dawn
Countless pawns
On the battlefield
Don't yield
Just proceed
With the need to feed
The greed
That's inside
Masquerading as pride
It hides
And comprises
The lies
To the ones you despise
The ones you defy
The ones that try
To make you compromise
Your morals
In these quarrels
Of words and phrases
That lose you in the fog and dazes
Of mazes
It amazes
And crazes
In different phases
And blazes
An unpaved path
Of wrath
A bloodbath
Of the past
A shadow cast
On the present
Not heaven sent
But hell bent
On destruction
Corruption
Disruption
Eruption
Explosions
Implosions
Overflowing like oceans
Overwhelming emotions
Take their toll and
Then move on
So on and so on
Let bygones be bygones
Keep your eye
On the sly ones
That'll go behind your back
And attack
Your weakness, the things you lack
So better start to pack
And get ready to leave
And greave
And receive
The pain and disdain
On the brain
That will sustain and maintain
Time and again
Until the bitter end
