Child Made of Wrath

Essence takes flight Fury’s final form Forged in furnace feral Delicate gallows worn As the terracotta cools Coils the smoke from pools Wrapping gnarled knuckled nightmare Around every child born Core frigid wrath is wrought In demoniac knot Past and present piercing Every child born Hallow tinted torment A shadow twisted dormant Rage spitting misted torrent On every child born Not all is shade and rot With heavy heart I’ve sworn Shaking bloodied burdened chains For every child born To undo the mass paralysis Through parables of palaces Cracking plates and chalices For every child born Now wrap the sun around the sea Silence synchronicity God Fire Heathen Wrath Alight with deadly epitaph

It's true... children are born into such a world. Though, God is in us, also...to give us light in the healing... this was emotional and powerful...made me grimace inside.

How unfortunate are those children , heart wrenching really. I guess i am too senstive to see and read about them being in pain and wrapped in wrath sigh. I wonder what your inspiration for this is, whatever it may be, youve delivered a brilliant and haunting write that i felt strongly!

Whoa! Bone-chilling imagery wrapped in a grisly message. Powerful penning, sir!
