Dividend In Division

anger, violence and death

work, exhaustion and death

anguish, suicide and death

evil, murder and death

our minds turn straight to division

as logic fades itself toward oblivion

pain sent to elevate bitterness

do we love it more than a blunt statement?

dream, desire and life

faith, endurance and life

hope, ambition and life

love, devotion and life

kill the thoughts you are trying to shift

outside perimeter of synthetic conscience

grasp a very motion from devoid intellect

drift and fluctuate as truth was never explored

tragedy brings apathy to ignorance

like street lights beaming on empty avenues

cognizance withstands the swarm of suffering

as it never forgives, and it never forgets

a mouthful of godforsaken emptiness

formed featureless shapes among dead clouds

i was amazed at the staircase leading nowhere

but it drives dividend on a poor soul of mine
