Trying to redefine <br />What the truth really means. <br />Denial, abuse, and violence, <br />Fills the now filthy, polluted air. <br /> <br />An unforgiving truth <br />Remains and resides in the soul, <br />A soul left tarnished, <br />Tormented and tainted <br />By violated spirits <br />Strangled by the truth. <br /> <br />Irresistible pleasures of <br />Deniable wisdom, <br />Softly caressing the <br />Tortured being, <br />Blinded by the truth of its <br />Surreal existence. <br /> <br />Unforgiving humiliation of <br />Denial and temptation, <br />Endless stories of <br />Redemption without salvation. <br /> <br />Cluttered confusion of <br />Denial and illusion, <br />Tainted, tattered souls <br />Looking for excuses. <br /> <br />Redefining the desire of <br />The soul’s inner fire to <br />Allow retribution for its <br />Wrongful contribution. <br /> <br />Tainted souls <br />Never to be cleansed again, <br />Tainted souls, <br />It’s way too late.<br /><br />Fab Ricciardi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tainted-souls/
