Author Note: Thought of this after uploading my first poem on FictionPress. It's simple and I may add more poems to start a collection.

False Paradise


Paradise is a joke,

Waiting for a God

That will never show,

How laughable.


Nothing comes

As we sit in this church,

Waiting.


She has forsaken us,

Paradise is a lie,

No God waits for us.


Only a Devil,

Bathed in crimson,

Lurking in the shadows

To punish the wicked.


PS: Sorry about the borders :(
