MAGGOTS

come see my cage

come swim in the filth you dumped me in

come eat the sh*t you tell us is a feast

let me scrape the gold off your rings

so that you can see the maggots that lie beneath

coiled around your fat fingers

i watch you step away nervously, forcefully and fearfully telling me how rightous and honest you are

rightous... honest... you use these words like a shield

against accusations i havn't even spoken yet

you cover yourself with these words and hide behind them

i'll tell you something i know because i've seen

honest and rightous people have nothing to fear

because an honest and rightous death

is so much pure and true and completing than a life of malice and lies

a rightous and honest person is not afraid

because he knows it is better to die living than to live dying

if you're as honest and rightous as you say you are

then why are you so goddamn afraid of me?

i can't hurt you, you've chained my hands behind my back

and even if my hands were free i wouldn't hurt you

i use my hands to build, not destroy

and no matter what weapon i have at my disposal

the only weapon i will use is true justice

justice dosn't hurt a rightous and honest person

why do you fear me so much that you hate me?

i havn't threatened you, all i've done is look at you

and i see you cowering

are my eyes really that fearsome a weapon?

if you're as rightous and honest as you say you are

then why are you wearing maggots on your fingers?

go ahead, beat me to bloody obliteration, i know you want to

and it's ok

because you can kill the revolutionary but you can't kill the revolution

you can kill me but you can't kill the truth

you can kill my body but you can't kill my soul

wow. powerful....i think this is a wonderful piece of poetry. the only thing i would change, is to give the ending something that gives a last firework to the poem. i read this poem over several times and something new came out for me each time. keep posting, and salutes to you flowerfairy
