A Cold Blade At Night
Poetry - A Man’s Path Seeking Justice and Equality
In the darkness of the night
A blade slinks in the darkness
Hoping to end the travesty
Of society
A raised and poisoned dagger
Seeking to land the lethal blow
Over an unprotected jugular
Consequences
Couldn’t seem further
For suffering was already
On the platter
Why such a disparity?
Why such difference?
We are all human.
Why does status…
Why does class matter?
Why is one’s birth
Such a significant matter?
Why is wealth
Such a determining factor?
Why does more or less
Make one superior to another?
One plunge
Could make it all better.
A single motion
To have all the fears shattered
Yet,
Over the figure
His hand wavered,
His heart pausing to wonder
Was this really the correct
Solution to this matter?
This poem was inspired by a writing prompt from the “Storyteller’s Vault” Publication.
