Tainted Angel

Tainted Angel
I've seen war
Rich with lust, ultimately poor
Lost in vanity
Pride has taken the best of me
Once truly pure
Subjected now to the toxin in search for the cure
Given into the weak
My future seems bleak
Bound by fear and to bitter to care 
Not wanting to believe I belong here
Silently crying I shed no tear
Lured by the dark
It's left a permanent mark
Forbidden redemption
Tainted Angel now terminally imprisoned

There are no words that can explain how much I like this poem. So true are the words Tainted Angel that most don't see that. You are a great poet!!!

It's been awhile since I have been on this site. Thank you very much for the compliment! This is one of my fav's :)

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
