from the vaults I offer thee

[mtmynd]

spank the d'evil
^^^^^^^^^^^^

write me words
in flows of glaciers
freeze drying thoughts
stopped in perennial pause
scratching at barriers
that built themselves
around a barren mind
stark with emotions

cold looks staring
ceaselessly into nowhere
as if blinded by light
that penetrated the soul
leaving all else on doorsteps
orphaned by existence
bundled in blank-ettes
that have unraveled their spell
and set free any truths
to sail among the rocks
chilled by mourning fog

spank the d'evil!

the foolishness of fear
upsetting rationality
and setting the course
towards that of oblivion

the torch carried high
olympic style across
the nomad hiways alone
with bums & drifters
set free from themselves
to wander with rhyme,
cheap bottles of wine
and their remaining time
left doing nothing
but crying in remorse
over memories long passed
leaving their hearts
in wakes of emptiness,

tears running in torrents
of self pity disguised
by words of sorrow begging
for spare change in life
to continue the misery
first hand alone... lonely

ah yes, the " foolishness of fear "

" upsetting rationality " ....... " stark with emotions "

there are pockets of humans that have forgotten how to think....incapable of gathering information from a variety of reliable sources so they may make informed decisions.....rather getting pumped up in the drama they have manufactured in their ignorance.....eschewing facts and science........turning a blind eye to reality easily verified by calm minds......behaving like teenagers with destructive angst....my oh my.....this is where we are......hopefully their numbers are relatively small....because this is like a really bad movie.....I'll give it a 2 % on Rotten Tomatoes
