Peace

Posted Sep 18, 2018 · 16 lines · 5 critiques

From my window woefully, I did see

All the world that passed by me

I did not invite the devils in

I did not commit the cardinal sin

Yet I drown in a lake of sand

As I seek one innocent hand

I carved my epitaph in rock and stone

The word “Peace”, that alone

I tried to live a life of contentment

While the gods in their resentment

Fortified in malice and greed

Leaving me in anguish and need

Of that which I was promised

And which I never received.

"Nice rhymes and pretty good flow. Message was even clear and a good one also. I assume the break in rhyme is intentional in last two lines...........stan"
