jonathan-r-lesher - Hello Poetry

Highway to the grave To the chambers of death He has no sense following her to the slaughter Seductive words led him astray Breaking the covenant with his eyes, drinking deeply of lust - seduced by smooth talk Persuasive, O so persuasive she led him astray it will cost him his life Many victims she has slaughtered Unruly, defiant and brazen In the dark of night she seeks out her prey Highway to the grave To the chambers of death Seductive words never sounded so bitter, knowing lust will cost him his life. This is a warning. Act on temptation drinking deeply of lust It will cost you your life Turn away from the Highway to the grave From the chamber of death Keep the covenant with your eyes Fortify your heart Keep His commands and you will live.

Highway to the Grave

Highway to the grave To the chambers of death He has no sense following her to the slaughter Seductive words led him astray Breaking the covenant with his eyes, drinking deeply of lust - seduced by smooth talk Persuasive, O so persuasive she led him astray it will cost him his life Many victims she has slaughtered Unruly, defiant and brazen In the dark of night she seeks out her prey Highway to the grave To the chambers of death Seductive words never sounded so bitter, knowing lust will cost him his life. This is a warning. Act on temptation drinking deeply of lust It will cost you your life Turn away from the Highway to the grave From the chamber of death Keep the covenant with your eyes Fortify your heart Keep His commands and you will live.

v1. **** the meritocracy Saturate the ranks with ignorance Put your precocious notions to rest Earning no honor - this is the death of thought v2. The claim is equality but suppression and abject discrimination reigns supreme The gods of narcissism and pride overwhelm Deception is the accepted norm No regard for truth No regard for truth No regard for truth c. Fear is the beginning of knowledge Fuel fear - be silent and know: We are one nation under God. The beginning is here, the beginning is now Death to yourself in regard for truth v3. Separatists. The elites claim love, but greed fuels desire No satisfaction in embracing the lie Disseminating egregious lies to the young and vulnerable A millstone awaits your fiery eternity Death to yourself - no regard for truth

**** you and your pretty little face. You led me on. I thought we had something going. How could you do this to me!? I never knew this side of you. I hope you die. **** you and your pretty little face. You pulled every heart string I had. I gave you everything, my honesty, my love. All you did was take take take this suburban heart of mine. Only to throw it all away. Now you’re all alone. No one hears you cry in the dark of night No one knows your name anymore, and I don’t care You scream out! Now there’s no one to hold your hand. There you are sitting alone avoiding fleeting glances in a sea of apathy You think you know what’s best but you never gave me a chance

Take me now! So sick of living this way, no pleasure or purpose because happiness isn't worth living for. The pain of existence is too much to bear, but I've learned to thrive. Lost, and broken, with a decaying life. Numb to the pain that burdens the heart, another lifeless body in the road. It's the fear of knowing that everything we've become is dead and complacent. Who can know the weight of existence? Speak the Truth! See through the murky lies that permeate our predictable culture. A sea of Apathy: moral convictions mean nothing. It's a thick suffocating smoke filling the minds of all who breathe it in - in the end we are left with nothing.

"In this wilderness your bodies will fall - you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you." The guilty do NOT go unpunished! Punishing the children to the third and fourth generation. The promise remains - blood was spilled. You will suffer for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies to rest. Yes, you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you. Banding against me you will meed your end, Here you will die. How long will you treat me with contempt? I am slow to anger, abounding in LOVE - in your presumption, I will beat you down. Do not despise my word - follow me wholeheartedly and salvation will inherit the generous promise I made.

You are perfect, you never make mistakes . . It's always me . . You always try to fix me and point out everything I do, Is there any grace? Correction unto perfection . . I don't want to settle for less, But I'm giving my best . . And it's never enough . . All I ever do is let you down . . What must I do to satisfy you? - become you? Can't I be myself, have my own life, Make my own decisions, have my own convictions . . I'm old enough now to own what I believe, I'm not disowning you, but we won't agree on everything . . I'm not a people pleaser anymore . . There is responsibility on my part . .

Sound pierces silence in the dead of night. She awakens to prowl the path of destruction. Screaming fills the air as the hearts of man sink into despair. Feeding quietly on their souls the beast stares off - oblivion soon to follow No one knows what's ahead - cowering in darkness they know death will soon fill their nostrils. A stampede through their home causes shrieking and pandemonium. There is no happy ending but hope lies in the unknown of extinction. An unconditioned stimulus controls the innate reward pathway of her sick mind! HABITUATION! I'll never forget - though she will, truth lies in the size of the response which slowly fades into the dark.

We are so different, It separates us. Fortunately? Or unfortunately, At least we don't fight anymore. I CAN'T RELATE! I CAN'T RELATE! You don't understand, You have no empathy or compassion, But I can't blame you for that. Siblings, yes. Were we ever friends? WHO WILL KNOW? Will I ever be good enough for you? Or am I just your ****** up kid brother, 18 months makes all the difference. NEVER ENOUGH! I'LL NEVER BE ENOUGH I'll always be a mess, Inglorious hero, And you're ******* perfect. IT'S THE DEMON INSIDE MY HEAD! That's what you told me, "just be better." Times will never be like they used to be, You're the hero - NOT ME. Now **** the victim you made of me, SLOWLY.
