submersed by the shadows fall
until forever finds me only chasing safety
wrapped in the threads of life
seeking the cleansing of immortal verse
far from being a dull boy
and certainly no mastermind of self indulgence
merely rising against the rise of brutal tyrants
but these frail words collapse
and surrender to the supremacy of the human abstract
that was butchered at birth
when it followed the reaper
and looked into the mirror.
