Scorned
Evil’s dark, sinister candle,
takes me hostage in its light.
So much despair to handle,
while traveling in the absence of sight.
Not a word, Not a whisper to comfort me.
My pertinacity instils that hope of survival.
Though I’m whipped by the curse of society,
and the continuous drones who grant me rival.
Hear not of thy speech or give me hope.
Fear, I have tasted in the valley of sin,
and though my neck shall not feel life’s rope.
I’ll stroll by the river where no man has been.
I hear your words and dodge your daggers.
I will not stand on quick sand that buries deep,
and those who walk with a confident swagger.
Your time will come during a midnight sleep.
Though I face such grave discord in life.
My reproaching soul shall grant me strength,
and the iron giants of dastardly deeds,
shall not see the rebellious last of me.

About Daniel Kemp
Daniel Kemp is a seventy-four-year-old member of The Society of Authors. He is also a bestselling writer. He writes stories that appeal to those who like challenging themselves to solve mysteries that are set out before their eyes.
His introduction to the world of espionage and mystery happened at an early age when his father was employed by the War Office in Whitehall, London, at the end of WWII. However, it wasn’t until after his father died that he showed any interest in anything other than himself!
On leaving academia he took on many roles in his working life: a London police officer, mini-cab business owner, pub tenant and licensed London taxi driver, but never did he plan to become a writer. Nevertheless, after a road traffic incident left him suffering from PTSD and effectively—out of paid work for four years, he wrote and self-published his first novel —The Desolate Garden.
Within three months of publication, that book was under a paid option to become a $30 million film. The option lasted for six years until distribution became an insurmountable problem for the production company.
All ten of his novels are now published by Next Chapter Publishing Company which has added an edition titled The Heirs And Descendants Collection, which holds all four books of that series, alongside an edition titled The Lies And Consequences Collection which contains all four volumes of that series.
He is the recipient of rave reviews from a prestigious Manhattan publication and described as—the new Graham Green—by a highly placed executive of Waterstones Books, for whom he did a countrywide tour of book signing events. He has also appeared on 'live' television in the UK publicising his first novel.
He likes to write quotes and it's on Goodreads where you can find them--- https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/list/72612151 An example of these quotes opens his novel--Once I Was A Soldier:--There is no morality to be found in evil. But to recognise that which is truly evil one must forget the rules of morality.
