Persecuted Soul <br /> <br />Body full of palpitations <br />Come the end of allegations <br />Sitting here with gun in hand <br />Can’t continue, conscience withstand <br /> <br />‘Please think again, please relent <br />Remove the thought, remove intent <br />Clear your head and take deep breath <br />Now’s not the time, time for death’ <br /> <br />I can’t go on, the pain too much <br />The will to live resists my clutch <br />Sweating brow and trembling hand <br />The wanting to go on, I must withstand <br /> <br />‘Listen to your conscience ensconce <br />Then think about your next response <br />Think about the ones you love <br />Then wear your conscience like a glove’ <br /> <br />As time does pass it makes me weak <br />Forget the consequences and havoc to wreak <br />Mind in turmoil, conscience protests. <br />Into open mouth the nozzle rests <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright Brian Peza Perrins 2011<br /><br />Brian 'Peza' Perrins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/persecuted-soul/
