A fervent man of pensive mien
Yet wanders through a world unseen
As truth and love both pass him by
And leave him lonely, dark, and lean.
For danger lurks in isolation
When a man, or more, a nation
Lives within itself and makes
A dogma from interpretation.

Scary how such men can get ahold of so much power. Brief, to the point...well-written.
Demented men with power. Now that's dangerous! Well done.
Polished and powerful. Well done! I will definitely be back to read more :)
This is very good, I especially liked "When a man, or more, a nation
Lives within itself" dangerous indeed.
You hit it on the head!

That's the truth! Simple in its beauty, but as Nanka said, it makes one pensive. Well done.
Being of German origin, surely a challenge, yet great set in scene by your writing. Please have a good new week.

Great subject, concise and powerful. Really nice.
I like the rhyme scheme too.
Taut and insightful. the rhetorical question: how do we let truth and love pass us by?
