"Shackled."

Some men were meant to
never ascend but to crawl
upon the earth, dragging
their like chains their sins

Some were destined to be
dripping with them so that
the Shit that they wallow
in will never change

Maybe a brief taste; a slight
reprieve that only lasts for
a twinkling of an eye...

Then once again, they plummet
and curse the hardened sky

It becomes red with rage and
blackened with hate

The clouds move in and shroud
them in a forever night, devoid
of all light

Blasphemies and torturous
transgressions that level the
cold soul and leave it wretched
and wretching

I've attained only to a vacuous
pit that's full of emptiness and
howling and Shit

As once again I plummet and
curse a hardened sky

Its become reddened by my rage
and darkened through my hate

Now the clouds move in and shroud
me in a forever night leaving me
devoid of all light
