Secret Police

We've got butterflies cavorting with souls,


Blindfolded led to meat trucks,


When we think we're old.


Arms and legs and rusty sockets,


Hospitals with new horizons,


Trusted, but hiding within the leaves.


 


Twisted, crumbling stair,


Listening to the sirens of London,


Under the haze darkening star,


Listen to the screams around here,


Blue and icy and sincere.


Men on the street attack fuzz in your ears.


 


We never shed a tear,


When the wolves come to the door.


Didn't pull the curtains back,


When the mob comes for the lynching.


Such a sweet smelling summer,

                              Potent but somehow newly wed.

Thank You, I am a very new user and have some trouble with these types of internet projects. I appreciate you input on my poem, and if there is ever any advice or critisms on other peices I need all the help I can get. Thank You very much.

Wow, that was amazing. Beautifully written and incredibley moving. The first line really drew me in and the rest of the poem kept me hanging on. I really enjoyed reading it.

Just one little thing - this is under "story", not "poem".
