Wicked Games

Agony

What do you seek?

From innocent hearts

Is it dominance

Or just entertainment

Will you answer?

Do you not see

Tears falling from eyes

Slowly like rain drops

Have you no heart

To spare cursed souls

From your cruelty

Pawns on a chess board

Watching as their destiny

Is held in the palm of another

Agony, why do you seek

Misery and chaos

Won’t you put an end

To your wicked games

Great intro Paul, I liked the follow through and they didn't turn happy just to make it sound better. Sad but whether entertainment or dominance its all a game with no winners. And innocent hearts, is there such a thing once the child has grown up? I liked your format breakdown here, made it easy to follow. Thanks for sharing big guy! Julie D.D.

Words of ideas

This is the best I have read of your work , Paul. I don't think one can reason with a thing like agony, it's like joy, it hapens in the cause of many things I believe. Kudos for you.. Mark Resilient Flexibility
