Shadow of Ourselves
Let us hide in the shadow of ourselves and act like we don't see what is before us.
Hide in the anomosity of opinion and act like we are God in the face of blasphemy.
Come on down, Oh righteous one, spit in the face of truth!
Turn away with vain wisdom while it rises up and bites the indignant behind.
Feel the ridicule of hate, see the falacy of it all.
The liars nose grows larger on the face of mankind and the gash of arrogance cuts
to the bone spewing the pus of wealth and power in the hallways of chaos.
The monsters have arisen taking their own place in hell as the eclipse of destiny
begins the journey of plagarist and theives.
The all seeing God's grimace in contempt and passionless enthusiaism as many wreath
in the pain and suffering of mankind and its indiscriminate wrath.
The thunder of furiosity straps on a belt of tribulation and blows the head off democracy
and freedom, an arrogant eye deepening the fire of revolt. The missile from Bermuda.
The terror of future in sight hope has not risen still a mere seed in a sea of doubt will
bloom into distraught....fatigued. Spiraling downward into the petals of enlightenments
flower only to be choked by the arsenic within.

Post a CommentIndeed "Writhe" is the correct work, oppsie Nice catch ;)
Awesome! So true! (FYI, where you have "wreath in pain" I think you want "writhe in pain"). Great work!
"the gash of arrogance cuts / to the bone spewing the pus of wealth and power in the hallways of chaos." That's awesome.
