Amoral Now

 

I am hard with obsession

Hardened with hatred at what I’m denied.

And yet it grows

A tower above me, yet from me;

And yet it grows and I feed on its fruit.

 

They dance with beauty

In front of my mind

Dangling temptation, sin and other wares

Like accidental, cheap salesmen;

I wish to buy, buy, buy.

 

There is no God

No moral purity

In the city of desire, where I dwell;

I sin to not sin

By not sinning, I sin;

Forgive me.

Hi Alobar...

Most all of us can relate to getting a little amoral at times...espescially since it is so in your face these days. Your poem sends the message clear enough without the bold font but maybe it is only my preferance or distraction.. I love your picture idea..thanks for posting this piece.

There is a relationship

There is a relationship between immorality and weakness, I think, and perhaps should work that into the poem... or perhaps I should just write another! note: font choice is out of my power--my computer has a mind of its own, and I no patients to learn how to control it. Someday, I keep saying, someday I'll learn how to use this infernal machine....

Hey Alobar

Your picture is astonishing lol Nice job on it ! On your poem, I think themoonman is right and altough we work to do more good there are times the work can get just too difficult and we slip up and for a time do not care. So long as we come back to the ideal of doing more good than bad I think in the end it works out - the work having been done that is. Thanks, mark
