euphemistic distortion
the sullied mask,
distended and empty
floats upon the congealing scum
of perverted facts and
obfuscated half truths
the one illusory mentality
still kept afloat supports
the tattered and fraying mind
of the sorry individual who
caused this all
the sight of bleak desolation
falls on empty sockets where
the perpetrator decided not to see
was the less painful lie
and so escaped from his sentence
floating along his self inflicted styx
the blind man hears the disembodied voices
and his mind is forced to assign faces all the worse
and this horror show of synesthesia continues eternally
tempted by the lull of a soft gentle end
the embrace of the loving black water
never reaches his throat, and like tantalus
the river runs dry beneath his futile attempt
at an end to this monotonous reminder of what was done
this is squalid retribution: the penalty for the sick
ensnaring coils of a twisted prescribed reality
thick with convoluted masses of doublespeak
and feted rotting shattered promises
so the sorrid elocution lies
sullied and festering
among the tarnished
lancets of rancorous
unending diatribes:
repetition of harsh
syntactic arguments;
logical assaulted,
emotions raped
and morals
trod upon
mercilessly
plead guilty
to your myriad of sins
the fate of the deceptive poet
is to know no peace in the hereafter

haha, bad mood...
can you tell?
and yes, the color scheme is revolting, it's slightly intentional...
(sorry about the vocab, when i'm in a funk i start vomiting up things like parasitic condensation) and the worse it is the less sense the combinations make...
[you can tell this was a doozy by how little sense it actually makes]
well, there is meaning, but it's a lot harder for people to get sometimes...
who knows, you might be different ;-(
NOT GOING AFTER ANYONE ELSE HERE,
just a little verbal self flagellation for any number of perceived wrongs...
(sometimes I'm a little harsh on myself...)

I absolutely love your diction! Honestly, this is the stuff I really like reading in a poem. I've done a few poems like this, and sometimes they runs so deep that even after you explain it to people, they still don't get it because you hardly understand it yourself. I think you did a very good job on this. Don't be so harsh on yourself, you don't deserve it.
I also am in love with your form. If you look through some of my poetry (not as of late) then you'll see that I'm a fan of the neat and clean shaped paragraphs.
The only thing you do need to do is put your AP name in your Author's Notes like I asked in the rules (and don't hate yourself for not doing it, barely anybody has done it, lol). Great job on this. Let me know when/if you've added your name so you can be eligible for a trophy!! -
