Crook

by EnRoute

In every silent test I set them up for failure In every tally taken a bit of what Could be is lost Robbing a flower of the sky's warm smile then blaming it for not knowing when to bare fruit Stealing the eb an flow of the rivers that connect you only to show disgust at the rot and stagnation Because of the pedestal I raised so high obelisks bow at it's legs I have had to fell you like the monuments dedicated to The vilified dead. The army of ideal thoughts that had been at your beckon call now fuel the fires that burn the villages of our memories instead I wish to forgive but I crave for your remorse I trusted you but now I trust you to be you no need for my retorts.
