In a crowded hall
Guilt appeared before me
I don't know her but she recognizes me
Silently she stands and stares at me
Her glare rivaling the fiercest winter
Causing my soul to shiver
She beckons me to bear her weight
But first she insist I thoroughly look upon her
Beholding her wounds
Wounds only Damien could conspire
Without words she accused me
Denies lavish my tongue
For I was skeptical of her certainty
Canst she be wrong? Amidst this throng, me?
Moreover have not I been a saint
A decent man admired by many
But before my rebutting was heard
From the herd another accuser revealed herself
This one I well knew
For my err against her was new
Beside my first accuser she went and stood
Then to my dismay, another opposer was produce
His name was Truth

Poetry: Guilt
by Kat Apf
I'll feed you
homemade mashed potatoes,
one spoonful at a time
until you say
you feel the comforts
of home.
I'll read you

[Innocence Condemned]
12:00 o clock is the start but the way it will end,
my sorrowful condolences for the innocent condemned,
by Roy Blokker
I cannot move, I cannot act,
I cannot think, I cannot write.
I am the pebble plunked
Into the Irish Sea,
The monsoon washing
Knowing I'm wrong
for all I've done
I'm feeding my guilt once more
Knowing I've lied
and made you cry
My guilt devours my own
GUILT
You think I don't feel it
Your wrong I'm a ruined mess .....
Yet I can't come forward
I can't deal with the consequence.....
