Now I’m against deceitful scrolls for they just lie. <br />Scribed by hands whose owners are living with bloodguilt <br />And whose words are confused because to lies are built. <br />Now you live but these scrolls will teach you how to die. <br /> <br />The wisdom these scrolls want to impart is from hell <br />Because life’s bitterest they’ll disguise as sweetness <br />And the light you see from them is really darkness. <br />In times of sudden failure they want you to dwell. <br /> <br />Foolish kings searched for truth in them but have found none. <br />Priests consulted them and they gave bad religion <br />Now over most people’s minds they have dominion. <br />Scrolls like these must perish and forever be gone. <br /> <br />I stand against them but who will unite with me? <br />For with my will alone I can’t unpublish them <br />And with my strength alone I may just meet problem. <br />Supreme One, I need Your help. Please make the world free. <br /> <br />These scrolls have already reached the fullest of ugliness. <br />Let them be despised among the despicable. <br />Let their words depart from the ears of the people <br />And let them be found in dirtiness of ashes. <br /> <br />These deadly scrolls let them trouble the world no more. <br />Let not my eyes again look at the world with sore. <br /> <br />www.poemhunter.com/obed-dela-cruz <br />www.poetfreak.com/poet/ObedDelaCruz <br />www.princeobed.multiply.com <br />www.obed-dela-cruz.blogspot.com <br /> <br />Copyright © 2010 by Obed Dela Cruz <br /> <br />(March 1,2010; Marikina City) <br /> <br />(The poem is written by Obed Dela Cruz.
