"The Unwinnable War"

 
Never able to learn why
he couldn't ever win...

The man destined himself
to live the same mistakes,
over and over again

I see through eyes weary
and dimmed, with vision
obscured by silent whims...

Desires and passions over
which I'll never relent

Some things go and
never put up a fight but
others deep-seeded, never
die going...

"Quietly into that Dark Night,"

It's beguiling to one's own
heart to not think this to be
truthful and meditation on
these things will prove to
offer insight into the soul

For therein is the soil of the
earth and from within its
bowels all things into this
world are birthed

"Out of the Heart of man
proceeds Art-forms

Out of the Darkness of man's
heart comes dark-forms that
cover him and change his visage
into something once not known...

Something once shunned: but
this is him and this is what he is
to become; lest his direction is
upward and not downward on the
conscience rung,"
