Darkness Prevails
It’s a snake with many heads Tendrils winding Lies that hiss through curved fangs On a stone cold medusa Promising things they can’t give Teaching you to lay down and die And not to question Come this way Until you fall in the pit That takes long years to surmount While thieves and backstabbers feast On what you built And someday it will be fixed By an old man in the sky But he’ll have to try it With a knife in the heart With an ax in the head Ripping apart serpents Out at the roots It’s not a reptile It’s Christ laying there Like he can, like hе should Fragmented and abandoned

Optimists and philosophers Have flawed points Projecting hopeful outcomes In an absurd mania Like an infection of the mind A failure to see The never-ending prison of our lives Its lack of all reason An absence of peace That never changes A war with no cause That never subsides Sit in it Rot It’s going to be fine There’s always a graveyard And you’re headed there The resting place Of your warped views See how far they went Six feet, straight down Into the darkness That prevails

Sitting in the Same Place A thought Am I alive? In this labyrinth Where I hide Among dead notions That still walk And detract They target my mind It’s a psychotic dance Here in the maze There’s a left A left But what is left? Forced to watch the passage Of time As I inch to the grave Twisting around and around In the ring A robotic institution One in front Of the other Day by day in my mind Making the same mistake The same infuriation Handcuffed to it My mind My prison My nightmare
