Elegy of Sorrow

Recurring dream of faceless babes
Bloodshot eyes
Morning dreams so full of hatred
Transferal of melancholy
From real to the surreal
Abandonment and disgrace
For no one does save face
Cruelty cloaked in fine nobility
Fastidiously grasping moon beams
Injure mixed with a saline alloy
An open wound.
Usury is humanity’s ugliness
Our curse, our despair
Pain beyond repair
Putting ourselves in harm’s way
What preempts us
For what purpose?
Innocence and sweetness
Mask a poisonous vinaigrette
The greatest insanity of all
A mix of guilt and regret
So this is friendship;
Peeled away from the demonic
Pretense of goodness
But here there is no kindness
Only fear, selfishness
and sadness.
Madness is personified
