Poem by Abraham

Seething, slowly
And the innards exploded leaving entrails everywhere,
Sloshing around, and lapping the blood
Enraptured by the chaos
Churning and twisting the peach
No repose no sanctuary
Contaminated elixir
Stains easily
And
Silent patrons
Dictate doome and dread
Laughing feverishly
Spewing forth the answer
Coalescing continuous filth
And the marching sea flees needing not
Finding facades; freeing disaffected seals
Lilting “'I love the invisible omniscient everything'”
The timid greet new chances
And reminisce about lost wars
Wondering whether warring is worth the effort?
The pain of vapidness sinks him into despair
Everything is so empty
“Everything is," neutral promises
But all he sees is blurred darkness
(wading thru deferred dreams vaporized into the fog dread)
And feel the weight of shame
Even though we live in a guilt culture
And the dream of hope is born
Into a world of dirt
And worse How can anything survive here?
((You know how))
