4:48am
4:48AM
Departed from a dreary routine
Of indescribable haunting
Retched deterioration of mental faculties
Nothing intended is delivered in wanting
Neither of these partitions in mind, in life
Have a non-working dichotomy of parasitic design
And brought out aggressive intervention
From within this half-broken machine
Fraught with desperation and oblivion
For a place of safety that’s stable and clean
Forgiven again and brought back in
Into a new world of hatred and greed.
In perpetual habitual poisonous self-destruction
The current is pulling yet remains unseen.
The struggle is real and to slaughter the sheep I must lead.
