Consume Without Cause

Raised on hopes and dreams that never

cease to be. No more than mere elusive

reveries. Days have turned to years, and

still nothing achieved. As eyesight

becomes blurred, yet somehow self deceive.

That sometime soon all prayers have been

confirmed. Yet always that road will take

another turn. Quick fix solvents;

artificially devour. Prolonged consumption

as taste buds turn sour. Seeds of promise

won't bloom; they died beneath the soil.

Banality has embraced you. constrained to

excess toil. For nothing but glimmers of

rose coloured clarity. Sit idle, eroding;

pursue mediocrity.

Subdueddysfunctionally flawed

Exhumeburied in grief

Resummisguided beliefs

The ground once fertile with thirst

Is now reduced to dust. Secured within

grasp, morality is all but crushed. Bloated

from sickness, the earth has swallowed whole
