Ramblings of a MadMan

Traveling inward...
Stripping away layer upon layer
From a heart surrounded by
Poison; ready to Corrode and
Tensions of Life
...A treacherous descent.

Reaching murky, abysmal finality within.
A void begun by callousness--
Caused by insensitivity--
Slowly gnawing at the
Naked radiance,
Leaving an individual filled with
Blight:
Calm, lucid exterior;
Strong, burning black anger within.

Watching disaster and pestilence,
Denial of basic freedoms,
The scourges of
Poverty, Disease, Ignorance,
Becoming stronger each day.
No Power caring to step forward
To help.

How long can this last before
Humanity sinks in to the bowels
Of barbarism?
Every minute another Light
Extinguished through death
Or defeat.

Primal ferocity growing like a
Virus.
Science--Medicine
Cannot stop it!
Compassion and Understanding
Have been forgotten.
Can they be recovered
Before Savageness explodes;
Leaving bones and battlefields
As a bittersweet testimony of
our Arrogance?
