Wicked people in a wicked world

Words can cut worse than a knife

Wicked people in a wicked world

Spinning chaos,

casting shadows,

promises snare,

glances cut like daggers.

They thrive on lies,

building empires

on broken trust,

masks polished,

stained by deceit.

The air hangs heavy,

but truth glimmers,

an ember waiting,

ready to ignite,

revealing strength within.

We rise, resilient,

daring to dance

in the storm,

for even in darkness,

hope finds a way,

blooming defiantly,

in hearts that remain whole.

    This is deep and meaningful… A poem of rising from the ashes and returning, stronger, better. Lovely.
