This is a poem I wrote for English class, we used the book The Crucible for Inspiration :) |
THE DEVIL’S FOOL A window breaks The only sound The glass falls FALLING Silent to the ground The trees stir The wind trying still To move those beneath it Bring them a chill But its efforts are useless Because everyone is already cold BROKEN Ice Just like the glass No one is here, a town once filled Now abandoned, everyone killed KILL You kill, you’re with him The man who whispers poison TOXIC It’s so toxic, we melt with him We melt He makes us, his grin wicked Malevolence HATE He hates You hate So we all burn We all hang HUNG Up to dry Always forgotten Left to cry BETRAYED You betrayed us You broke us All for him HIM Who is he? What does he want What does he give you To make you do this To us US You used to be one of us You still are Still a human And yet you think your Different BETTER You’re better You’re good We are tainted POISONED We fall Diseased We drop Victims We stood Once But now There’s nothing EVERYTHING Went wrong Because you listened To him Why did you listen Why did you have to hurt us? We were victims VICTIMS We were innocent INNOCENT We were here Once But now we’re gone Because of you YOU! Why? Why did you listen? What was there for you to fall so low And destroy us US We stood as one We fall as one But you You are alone ISOLATED With only him Are you happy? Is this what you wanted? I am happy Because I see you for what you really are I will no longer be deceived Be tricked Or broken I will no longer stand by you Because I know who you are I will no longer be pushed Because I am done DONE And you shall not break me anymore Not for him Not for you I break for me And he will get you Because he is the devil And only a fool Will truck with the devil You stand alone He has you choking On your leash He has you crying In your hands You shake You beg For us To help HELP? Help you? You destroyed us You killed us And yet you still break You are scared But we don’t care You twisted us around your finger You whispered in our ears And made us trust TRUST? You know nothing of trust LOVE? You know nothing of love HATE? You hate He hates You belong with him. And I will not help you I stand with them We stand as one We fall as one You are alone And you blame us US! We did nothing But trust you We did nothing But help And you betrayed us You LIED And I don’t care anymore You’re a fool And the devil can keep you. |
