Array ( [sid] => 137547 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Scars That Should Never Be [time] => 2007-09-28 05:33:42 [hometext] => My uncle died in January this year.Sadly, despite leaving a will certain people who are not in it feel they should be.They are now contesting it.They cared little for him in life, clearly they have the same comtempt for his wishes even in death [bodytext] => Conscience sleeps, drugged by material lust
The stench of greed pervades, smog chokes reason
Your grief just a mask, worn barely a day
Plans perfectly orchestrated, joined together in symphony of intent

The carrion of passing now all that remains
Vile apparitions shed humanity, come crawling to the feast
Shepherding self respect to the back of the mind
Dignity becomes the second thought, the sacrificial lamb

As I search for justice in the jigsaw of replayed scenes
Just ice I see in your cold impervious hearts
Your lies spit venom, spreading the infection of your tainted soul
Money your appointed god, poisoned by its power

Death from disease as greater disease lingers in you
Your thoughts not times past but times yet to come
For the one that was I would gladly forsake my share
You leave me cold and broken,with scars that should never be [comments] => 3 [counter] => 404 [topic] => 6 [informant] => puppy_dog_eyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 16 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )

that is tough, and the worst part of it is... these people are family. i don't envy you, not at all. you displayed your emotions, and disgust well without going over the top. i like that. nicely written. hope it all gets done with soon so those people can go crawl back into their holes.
