belief of control 
breathing in orders
enslavement to an ideal
labeled: love 
the impact of reason 
fractures a mind 


in this naive superstition
drinking life’s vomit 
acting like its honey
while you allow despair
to crush you


it has come
to melt you with fire
while hatred 
is burning on display
leaving everything
so brightly wrong


trust this nemesis 
gaze towards 
this crooked image 
framed in
gold plated lies


shining in
evil splendor
stare and see 
the jagged edges
of a selfless vision
in fumes portrayed


this canvas of souls
caught and weaved
the artists, a human dream
signed and sealed
incinerated, devoured, deceived
