Heart

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Nov 23, 2023 

Hearts.
What
evil 
dwells 
in the
hearts
of men.
Raging
eternity
bound.
Charging
the fields
of ages.
Leaving
death,
destruction.
Suffering
in their
wake.
Madness!
Primitive
instincts
holding
sway.
Overwhelming
logic and
trust.
Animal
blood lust.
Mindlessness
on full
display.
Leaving
the innocent
in disarray 
to pick up
and carry
on.
Putting
the pieces
back on
display.
