Arrogance and Hatred
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
A fire of pride
A swarm of prejudice
Inside I hide
In dark malevolence
A light captured
A bone fractured
Fondness becomes love
Love becomes passion
Passion rises above
As hatred enters the fashion
Arrogance rises up inside
Makes it hard to oblige
The wishes of those around me
Pride turns to arrogance
Prejudice becomes hate
Arrogance and hatred are all I see

Absolute Corruption
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Innocence
Is arrogance
In worlds and cities
Of decadence
One thing
Rules above us all
The power can make even the noble fall
But what would you do
With all the power
And all the money in the world
The truth is merely
Corruption unfurled
Can you hear that chime
Steeped in rhythm
And in rhyme
I Cry as I find
A true assumption
We are all trapped
In a dimension
Of absolute corruption

An Absent Thought IV
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Where are you?
Near?
Probably far
As rare as a falling star
Do I even know who you are
Probably not
Left to wonder woefully
About the world
You see that?
Alliteration
Just a tool I use
To catch your eye
And why?
Good question

An Absent Thought III
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Destiny
And dishonesty
Co-existing
In lunacy
And in fear
It's clear
As I shed a tear
Hoping I'm not the fool of the year

An Absent Thought II
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Curiosity
Luminosity
Contemplating
Regulating
My mind is all a blaze
An unmistakable haze
"Who is this?"
"It's me"
"Okay"
Where were we?
Anyway
The world is yours
And can not be trusted

An Absent Thought
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Paranoia
And passion
Agoraphobia
In new fashion
The world is a tiny place
These words are written on my face
Not in truth
Don't be a fool
But in another perception
Or deception
I'm not quite sure
