Broken Static and Serenity
Stream of Consciousness-style, broken, introspective poem.

Static burns through
(crematoria epidermal)
all and everything
(but)
where the war
(in the west, east)
and the peace
(... the void)
begins and ends
(cracke…)
broken s h a t t e r e d
(but)
rivers of bloodletting the side down
again-st the tidal wall of
the enemy of the state of things as they stand
up for what you think is right
the wrongs of the past
times and lives forgotten
nine eight ways to make you straight jacket
cut to fit your framework of emotions
and driving forces of nature
and natural disaster relief
from the oncoming storm
*
broken, cracke... I love when the lines don't
...
complete until they do
*
static burns through
like the sun
but all I need
desire
is the cold light
of the moon
*
Realisation
is
Salvation
from
Expectation
*
Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: Another deep dive. I've also been listening to a lot of hardcore (variation on punk) which often has a lot of short blasts of lyrics and so brevity is key to it all.
