Words of distrust
Falling off every tongue
Tensions rising to a boil
Hostile glances
Cast over every shoulder
In expectation of betrayal
Knives are sharpened
In every darkened corner
Withering façades, shaken
Rising tides
Of madness overwhelm us
Paranoia penetrates
Long-suppressed savagery
Intruding furtively
Penetrating empty spaces
Corridors of the human psyche
Castes wrought in stone stifle their dreams,
Carve out their tongues unworthy flock, ascension denied
Crippled and mute, they stagger
With knives drawn in search of a mark
Obdurate boundaries of complacent servility
Established from their birth
Too late came the epiphany for
The meek never to inherit the earth
Destitute and mocked by platitudes
Fear and frustration overtakes
Grasping at straws in want of salvation
Abject grief sublimated through rage
Conflict spreads exponentially
Long-dormant leviathans stir
In every man, roused by the scent of this..
Crisis begets panic begets violence begets death begets
Crisis begets panic begets violence begets death begets
Crisis begets panic begets violence begets death begets
Crisis begets panic begets violence begets death...
