Such is the scandal that has become my conscience, | |
I find scant respite from the confrontations with those | |
who know I seek absolution. | |
This nightmare, an awakening to a reality only a nip of | |
something stronger alcoholic can make palatable. | |
Languid and despairing I find the truth of the abandoning | |
of my family and friends. | |
An clear, inglorious reflection of my character. | |
If violence is truly an obsession of our time it is a curiosity | |
of sinister and callous magnitude. | |
It is an sick habit of those who claim to be adults. | |
Thought and its exchange is now an offense. | |
It is the whine of the worlds children. | |
In these lands where unbridled hatred is the weapon | |
of the hypocrites whose self acclaimed genius strikes me | |
as the final portentous saddening of a world made delirius | |
where the lives of the downtrodden are without love, | |
where the angels of my past leave me in the cold pallour | |
of paranoia. | |
