The Power of One - 1. Justice

Justice

You stole their innocence in the blink of an eye.
They locked you away as a monster in a cage.
Never again will you harm the little cherubs.
The nights of terror fade to memories of yore.

You led her astray as a woman and her scars.
They put you away yet her heart remained.
Never again will she fall for old tricks.
The nights of solitude shall soon be at rest.

You lost my respect and serene liberty.
They locked you away to pay for misdeeds.
Never again will I see the man of disgrace.
The nights of my pain fled with god speed.

You were infirmed on that July day.
They sent you back a forever broken vessel.
Never again would we hear ye speak.
The nights of late July were justice served cold.

You were the one who passed on the afternoon of spring.
They could not save you from the great twist of fate.
Never again will you destroy all the lives.
The nights of rest bring the slumber of peace.

That was chilling but very good, I think. I can't comment on the structure because I don't know much about poetry but I do like the story and I like that different people or different reading could reveal a different one

Yeah, I agree with Nephy's assessment there. This felt very dark and gave me goosebumps. The images that came to my mind were incredibly sharp and had an effect.

 

In my mind, poetry that can make me feel a particular emotion is good poetry. This one did.

 

Thanks for sharing :)
