Gripping drumming

Sings laterally, generically

Thum-thump-thum-thum

Screaming white, crystalline

Shaking the foundations of Heaven’s palaces

Forever flowing down

Common people shaken to their souls

Lavender shades of emotion

Trickling out into the world

To heal terror-stricken hordes

Cast into work camps by power-mongrels

Licking lips of greedy, starving faces

Morally bereft and lack lustered pinstriped suits

Ragged and homeless

Suturing the edifices of modern society

Crusts peeled back

Crusts chipped and scarred

Scorched by illusions of lavishness and decadence

Akasha teaches empathy

Caring population, souls of light

Shining beacons of quest-pondered saturation

Star-twinkling pinpoints of thought

In night realms never-ending

Souls re-emerge new, fresh

Brighter than before

Threading rapture and torture

To live longer

Forever studying re-inventiveness

Cracked carapaces sewn together

With threads of sinew

And bones shattered before Gods

And knights in hard skin

Lanced by sharpened tongues

Flicking death and murder

Wolves’ fangs and serpent-strikes

Making dexterous exercises

Paramount for survival

Quickest martial expertise

Manufactured in secret

For wars to wage

To conquer fear of fear

Fear of righteous anger

For maiden’s righteous retribution

Satisfaction

Justice preserved and touted as truth

Truth begets honesty

Social contract

Benign interest riven from castle thrones

Kings bereft of heirs

Issue democratic decrees for parliament

Votes for equality

Laughed at and scorned

Power lost to mediocre citizens

Striving for bread and water

To serve out their sentences

In peace, not pieces of failure

Scorned and hated

Secreted away in safe-houses

Under legal eyes from cameras

On every corner and in the skies

Sinking in oceans of tribulations

And careless accidents

Forking traditions of mirrored fear

Ageless Sumerian cads

Loving chaos, mayhem

Disgusting masses

Oberon and Chtulu

Calling for treasonous murderers

Assassin’s oaths to right society

For tyrants wrath

To sever legality from justice

Hero’s tragic fall into despair

Innocence lost to dogs

Warring for scraps of refuse

As if they were gold

Haunting conundrums pass daily

Forcing thoughts

Continually changing mindsets

Love instigates change

Change forces duality

Gemini-locusts eating

Ravaging faceless calamities

Prayer claiming religion-shrouded mystics

Charlatans choking on hopes, dreams, and innocence

Children play at being adults

Adults try to reclaim innocence

Lost beyond regaining

Crystal-tinged rapture

Singing melodies of peace

And tranquil, languid waters

Pondering hope and cringing

From fear of loss of innocence

Havoc-ravaging maniacs

Selling swords of rage and pestilence

That medicine cannot heal

Fear-gripped masses

Huddle in soaking ambiance

Water-logged and freezing

In Winter-frozen heaps

Frothed and symbolized

By drowning bodies

Cavorting amongst the gravestones

Of modern society

Gyrating in death-throes

And chuckling

At the ironic facets

Of lives not lived

Wasted energy spent

On frivolous meandering

Amongst sheeple and rampant regimes

Ceaselessly changing

But remaining stagnant and hopeless

Valhalla shimmering

Across the Rainbow Bridge

Lost and inaccessible

Vaulted waypoint

Illusions of truths

Pondered but dismissed

Errant minstrels

Singing praises to heroes

Undeserving of adulation

False spirits haunting scientists

Seeking to prove that

Charlatans are truths

Mislabeled as Gods

Worshipped as Devils
