lamentation

The threshold where we stand between ourselves..

Lamentation

 

The heat of power

Laced -

With the stench of anger,

Incites our consuming pride

Which feeds

An ego - that dominates.

Fools of hell -

That’s who we are,

Damned in self glory

We're fated for regret

Miserable - in vanity.
