DEATH is.... <br /> <br />* to some a torment, spent in hells eternal night <br /> to some a relief, the weary soul taking flight <br /> to some a reward, promising heavens shining light <br /> to some a nothingness, the simple ending of sight <br /> but to all it's a promise, humanities birthright. <br /> <br />* a closing of the eyes so that there may be an opening of the mind <br /> <br /> <br />SIN is.... <br /> <br />* an idea that can bind you faster than the strongest chain <br /> <br />* a parent threatens the wilful child with the 'boogeyman' society threatens the wilful soul with 'sin' <br /> <br /> <br />REVENGE is.... <br /> <br />* a crime when committed by man, justice when committed by society <br /> <br />* when an obsession with anothers aggression leads to the possession of our own transgression <br /> <br /> <br />PEACE is..... <br /> <br />* the prize of war, only won with an ocean of fathomless tears for the uncounted dead <br /> <br />* the dream of many ransomed by the will of a few <br /> <br />* the antithesis of want, the two can never exist side by side only when there is none found wanting, can peace be found <br /> <br /> <br />HOPE is..... <br /> <br />* a solitary spark in the darkness that, when ignited, sends the shadows fleeing and illuminates the entire world <br /> <br />* a rare and precious gift. once received none can take it by force or guile, if lost it can always be re-found and can be endlessly given without diminishing itself <br /> <br />* a beacon to guide you through the tempestuous seas of life but if you lose sight of it, you are lost on the calmest of clear days<br /><br />amber roser<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-writing-exercise-at-3am/
