Sea of Daggers

An endless, menacing ocean of
greed and intolerance,
mania, and
gluttonous desire
surrounds us all.

And with its turbulent waves,
breathing in and out of the Cold Dark with endless fury,
this ocean threatens to swallow us whole.
Every second of every day of our lives,
it threatens to drag us down and
pull us deeper into the depths of its
cold enmity.

And yet we remain so complacent.
So content with sinking further,
abandoning everything that is pure,
loving, and divine in this world.

O heaven, why do we fritter away our days,
quietly drowning in this sea of daggers,
which every day pulls us deeper and deeper into
darkness and depravity?
