As I drink the
bitter bile of melancholy,
the sky moans
and the dark side
visits my heart
with the shriek
of a death scythe
Then shall I bury myself
with rigorous will
and be the clay's brethren,
and suffocate happiness
till the breathe of light
becomes extinct,
the clock ticks slowly,
and the graveyard
defies life
Now I fall...
bottomless
in this endless
futile brawl with the darkness,
I let it clothe me,
the ears of mercy
are deaf
but still the silent
violin of bliss
plays with a transparence,
vomited by the fog
which convicts my
very sanctity,
and rapes my existence.

and with words
that do slither
in the minds of unfortune children,
lying fangs are revealed
and the venom of misconception
spat into fantasies
till dreams die
by an involuntary, oral eutanasia
Not words of a simoom
not words of a gale
but a chimney that coughs,
because its lungs
are clogged with
the dirt virus coughed
by other chimney
and he...or she
coughs, releases the
perceptional smog
into the youthful sky,
till the kids
minds become clouded
with fear
that now becomes
flawless but the
endless repetition of this pollution
Then these children,
also cough out discouragement,
apparently, inspiration
must be the quarantine to vaccinate this virus.

Quite a canon folk,
who have a really
crooked mentality of power,
murder is the muscle,
and their punch
is deception
The city swarms
with shadows,
the domain,
a hive of evil,
where the bees
sting like death,
they beat mercy
till it flees from their heart
with red-hot defiance
in their eyes,
they are breathing furnace,
talking inferno
that unleash hell
upon a decayed heaven;
peace is an old corpse
buried in the
graveyard of negligence,
long forgotten
by the code of hostility
They think their immune,
but the angels weep
but the grim reaper laughs,
as Satan upgrades his pawns
in this grim chess.

O beyond the shattered hills I see,
scattered bones scattered bones of me,
tattered visages, tattered visages of myself
let the world see how I have become an elf.
Look at me
I have been blessed with a scarf of boils
the devil laughs with glee
at a broken monument that spoils
O beyond the shattered hills I see,
scattered bones scattered bones of me,
tattered visages, tattered visages of myself
let the world see how I have become an elf
The total alliteration of sadness
born into residual madness
makes me sip bleakness
the melancholy of this darkness
At the penny drought,
my soul begins to pout
and frown and toil,
till hard tears fall to the soil
O beyond the shattered hills I see,
scattered bones scattered bones of me,
tattered visages, tattered visages of myself
let the world see how I have become an elf.

The earth tastes suicidal,
we are living in fairy tales,
the mind has manufactured
garments from the air;
and created an eminent
spear fortress with the clouds
We have a spine helmet
on our heads,
and visions turn grim
with logty beliefs
of unexpected horror
Ignorance is the scaremonger,
telling the tales
that make reality rot
in cadavery
and a malodoury mentality
Things unseen,
mirages which have
bribed their way
into existence
by the felony of the eyes
Visions commit crime,
as they solicit
our thinking with lies
and fate stamps
an embargo
on open-mindedness.
