The Gordian Knot

[thrall]

Passion of truth
Deceptions of lies
Release not the beast
Who lives inside

Shadows from the past
Cast shade in the future
To fish the same shallows
A marksmen again

Test not the metal
The steal of the soul
That cuts with an edge
A terrible blow

Present not the face
The Gordian knot
For damned with faint praise
And murder will out

[Rhabbi]

I love the passion in your writing, and the technique is much improved.
