Jericho's Wall
An Abecedarian Poem
Anger rages within, scorching flames, like a
Bonfire, blazing, its heat spreads through me,
Consuming all other thoughts, igniting passionate
Disgust at your thoughtless decisions.
Ever you play the innocent victim, the one who
Forever forgets the crucial parts you've played in
Generating the destruction of your own relationships.
How you can look at your conniving face in the mirror
I'll never understand. Yet there is one thing I do know.
Justice is coming. Its shadow grows heavy on your
Knavish consciousness, its sharpened sword singing the
Legitimacy of your downfall, revealing cracks in your
Mental armor. The sun is setting, the day is ending.
Night will fall on the face of the lies you tell yourself,
Opening the way for the truth to be seen, and there you'll
Quail before the righteous rage of your victims,
Revealing the depth of your tearful cowardice, your
Shitty excuses will fall around you like dead flies,
Traitors to your name and your self-centered causes.
Underneath it all, we'll see you for what you are, a
Vainglorious troll hell bent on hiding the truth, a
Wicked liar, gaslighting those remaining unconvinced, a
Xenophobic monster buried behind sympathetic smiles.
Yesterday you betrayed a child, one dependent on your love,
Zealously, like he deserved it, you'll get yours in the end.
