Amidst the shadows of a growing world,
The bad outweighs the good.
It is a stunning scary view,
Of what we might have passed by,
In our other lifetime,
It is a sinister thought,
In the least fragmentation.
A wild Kaleidescope of opium.
Igniting a passion, we didn't know we had,
Leaving us all in a thrall of cement,
Something seen and not heard,
Compare it to a rascal with a broken heart,
The memory will crush you to ribbons.
Turning everything to mush.
A corner spread eagle on the bed,
Lacerated by my mental taste of destruction.
Follow it till it is gone...
