Wrong Chosen One

Wrong Chosen One by Jade Christine Orquia

As quick as lightning, they struck their evil deeds; Planted the seed of destruction in every direction. They lived in a sunny place and hid from a stormy life. And all, in a flash, they took everything.

They murdered, they plundered but are still considered as heroes. They lied, they manipulated but still they are respected. Are we deceived by the words that only come from the mouths of the wicked? Are we blinded by the games they play so nicely?

We saw what they did Yet we just watched and smiled As they pull our strings, Replacing them with fear, sadness, and despair,

Driving our thoughts to go mad and insane Until we no longer know ourselves. Did we choose the right one? Or did we just fool ourselves for the wrong chosen one?
