Hiya! This is Sarah and I realize that I haven't posted in this before so here goes...Oh yeah, this is a poem I wrote today 'cause I was bored. I don't really like the title so if any of you guys read it and have any ideas they would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

Shiney Revelation

All around me are people trapped
In prisons and cages in their mind,
Before them they see a shining future
But their twisted hungers keep it confined.

They rage, they weep
‘Paradise’, they repeatedly scream;
And still that shining future taunts
Rippling in an unceasing dream.

And where am I, you may ask,
Whilst these people crash and blaze,
You’ll see me sit upon my throne of blades
Watching with an unwavering gaze.

For why, I ask you,
Should I lift a finger for all of them;
They are the very cause so
Let them exist in their created mayhem.

A thought of warning and a twitch of the lips
Again I watch another fall;
Then a giggle that goes unnoticed
For alone I sit through it all

Hypnotized by that light,
They assemble like moths to a flame
And as I stare at that demented herd
I see that you are just the same.

So with these words I leave you,
They are wisdom most people spurn,
Cautiously reach for that shining dream
Or you just might be burned.

Thanks for reading it. Again any ideas would be helpful!!!
