shadows lurk and penetrate oneself as it dies
denouncing dissenters to the keepers in the sky
thoughts contempted found, which come to grips
stymied dispenses pus as fabrication drips
and mark every movement, to conquer and control
welfare and happiness certainly not the goal
phantoms fade reappear within the urban sprawl
of plenitude to penury, how life endures the fall
and whisper words of freedom's fragrant bloom
sighs of worriment at earth's impending doom
extracting shadow likes spiders plucking wings
as strumming the corpse of freedom swings
while peons' mind stray never far from home
beneath the iron boot, thrust deep below the loam
and peasants pass, parading fill the golden urn
for the afterlife wherefore the faithful yearn
pains of purgatory, far-flung distant shores
drape soul with dust, and rainbow metaphors
and scholars, lean, stay silent when meet
signs are all around, will it distrust on matters indiscreet
a sightless seer scans the skies mourns heretofore
within the ocean's muted roar, telling tales of nevermore
and when hope becomes defiance, bedlam soon arrive
as gale winds gust below, ... will it let one survive?,
