Where mental fortitude begins so appeases anguish
Deftly eluding the hands of withered cynics
You breathe in us the teaseing of an esoteric nature.
Misanthropic convolution whispers what we wish we were not but so fully are.
You told us that truth would never evade us.
The people live their lives in black-light ecstasy.
fate forever calls our mavericks to be sacrificial redeemers

struggling to find a path in vain
Yet an unbound mind overcomes the fiercest rain
Life's sadness relents and thankfully so.
But a flurry of penitence...

Out pours torrential rain awash with sorrow.
Terror’s deluge threatens never a new tomorrow.

Fluid tendrils grow averse ambitions all their own.
Shattering the fortress of some forgotten emotional dome

A person or a simple personification to which it perturbs
consummate anguish of a mentality most disturbed

Its mist leaves an uneasy serenity.
Hopes and dreams now lost memories

Rendered impotent by metaphysical fatality
Precipitate forever within liquid insanity

walking through the timeless gateway of life
Seeing what it has to offer us in its unyielding eye
All of the dreams and atrocities of humanity
through my battered perception I grasp its vanity
our dissonance as a species so seemingly infinite
to the universe its nothing but anomalous insolence
As a human i believe it must be said
learning and education should be wrought instead
arrogance and folly of mankind oh so great
Can you not see you put our existence at stake?
Words said and blood spilled through the ages
Forever filling our history book...

In the dark woods I trek 
anxiety fuels my fret
Death and decay seem only minutes away
in vain i hope to live till day
moving hastily yet stumbling blindly  
clothes torn ragged
Mauled by a savage
Blood on the trail
Inscribed by a fingernail
No help in sight
increasing my plight
Dead men to the right
Losing the will to fight
seems i wont make it through the night
