World wide multitudes it would seem

are beginning to live a dreamless life

the world they lived in has been made to lose itself

where saints and sinners can no longer be distinguished

 

what is there to be said of an existance

that is being drained of the capability

to cry or show love without shame

 

from where did they come those odd men out in the past

and are now the odd men in

what right do they have to close the eyes of hope

and infuse the human world with their brands of darkness?

 

is my only escape from this drudgery

going to be made possible

by beating death to the finish line I wonder

instead of spending my days

staring in the mirror with enforced recognition

of my helplessness and cowardly self loathing?

God knows-or does He? Do I have Lucifers number?
