Spoliation & Condemnation?
________________________________
A life of belief
No questions asked
A life of Misery
My great reward?
I am sorry
but.....
Are You blind to
The tenacity of self
The veneer you see
That covers my soul
Trivial by no measure
Above the pain
Above the sorrow
Above the madness
Above the ashes
By your wishes
I will rise
Conviction mine
Determination owned
Fortitude I leach
Try as you might
I endure
Down my life?
Mash, Pound, Rout,
About my subsistence?
_____________________________
WHY ME!!
I say
To the power
That tests
My resolve
WHY ME!!
I scream
From the desolation
Of heart
Of will
WHY ME!!
I pray
From the depths
Of my reality
WHY ME!!
I bellow
From the maw
Strident and proud
________________________________
You cant stop
The servitude of self
The solace
Of this being
The honesty to preservation
Down I will not go
Out I do not see
Enslave?
I think not
Crush of will?
Surely you jest
I will conquer
The fatalistic nature of life
I shall defeat the
Season of ill
No matter the strife

WHY ME!!

Of heart

I bellow
From the maw
Strident and proud
________________________________
I will not disband
My inner beliefs
To serve a ruler
As callous
As thou
Thou who controls
Seemingly my life
In all its strife
Grief and pain
You are not what I imagined
Surely the one
That controls
My destiny
My dreams
Can not be thus cruel
To believe
In a authority
That allows
This wretchedness
Is inane
In life.
There is strain, no gain
In death.
Is there bliss, no pain?
