Array ( [sid] => 163934 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Destroyer of Hope [time] => 2010-12-27 03:26:14 [hometext] => This is a dark poem about the triumph of greed over a person's life/goals, written in the perspective of Greed. [bodytext] => Here I come to tear you down,
Bloodstains on your golden crown,

I glide, I glitter… you stop and stare,
Unaware of my seductive deadly glare,

I grab your heart and spit it out,
So lost in me, you cannot shout,

No help will come, I control you now,
When I am done, to gold you’ll bow,

Come to me… oh feeble minds,
It is narcissism… I lie behind,

I reach inside, distracting with beauty,
You come to me, ignoring your duties,

Self indulgence is what you see,
I create from you… a mockery,

While I distract you with my crime,
You throw away your precious time.

Years have past, eyes set on gold,
But nothing can renew the old,

You’ve lost you see, this game I play,
It is peace, hope, and love I slay.

There is a depth to your words that is hauntingly true. Greed destroys all in its path sooner or later and you captured that in awesome form. Strong lines and profound imaginative writing.

Deep, dark and profound. I enjoyed it thoroughly espeically since its from greed's perspective. It reminded me of " sad but true" by metallica.

Here's my favourite line:

So lost in me, you cannot shout,

You really captured the essence of the dark subconscient cavern, the last fortress of ignorance.
