Damn you soothsayers of no avail

Damn you soothsayers
that pries on dignity
and leaves without a trail,
that hawks all words
on markets and courts
where gossip and dead birds
refuse to fall to the ground.

Damn you do-gooders and all you
that prance through moonless nights,
who believe that angels can't fall
from the face of smugness and heights,
never daring to charge the old father
with history's body pile
and all mislead, murky molestations.

Zoya Zaidi
Damn you the war mongers,
The destroyers of lives.
Damn you the twister of truth
The justifier of lies.
Damn you the sophists
of our times...

This is my take in more explicit terms! lol!

(((Hugs for the well placed expletives))))

Christian Lanciai The PoetBay support member heart!
There is never any harm in telling the truth, even when it is damning. The more reason, and the more vitally necessary to tell it.

The fall of religion perhaps? Because they failed to do what they were suppose to do? The spiritual awakening of the human. . .
