Poetry

An outlet for players whose creativity extends beyond the board. Post your original works here!

The posting of song lyrics is not the purpose of this board and as such please refrain from doing so. Exceptions can be made to this rule if you are the copyrighted owner of the lyrics and the lyrics are not found offensive by the majority of the population.
This board is a place to post your original works of poetry and prose and also a place for discussion of poetry and related areas.

We have received word from Fencer that other's poetry can be posted to this board. These are the two conditions:
1) When someone posts a known copyrighted poem, he must add the author's name as well
2) If the author is not known, the poem can be posted without problems

Thema: Coping Mechanism

Fresh fallen snow covers the trail of footsteps,
Leading from the church to the gallows.
One day removed from justice’ travesty,
Nature’s course lays a blanket of forgiveness.

Perhaps healing is nature’s purpose,
Else time should stop dead cold,
When evil men commit the most heinous crimes,
And saintly men do worse.

Yesterday was not just the end of one,
But the innocence of the all was tried and hung.
Mayhem conquered virtue, and corruption overtook reason.
Where a display of dissent confessed guilt by association.

Today, the gavel lays silent,
And peace replaces strife.
The world turned upside down is set upright again,
And time marches on.
