Appetites of the Abysm

Systemic symmetries of destruction, 
gorging with thoughtless consumption…
Within the bowls of corruption,
enslaved by the sanguinary skins of seduction…
Butterflies bloom to demonic deeds, 
of the feeding frenzy that surely bleeds…
Voices that spread their saintly seeds, 
only entrapped within wrangled weeds.

Fake media the soup of the day, 
cabalistic constructing illusions they portray…
While the appetites of the abysm display, 
as the deceptive delusions foreplay…
Habitual hunger that they manifest, 
of the manic misconceptions we ingest…
For we suckle on the beastly breast, 
as they occupy the obedient oppressed.

Never get tangled in weeds, as you become trapped, and it is difficult to find your way out. Be careful, cautious and only trust those that accept you, for You. Those that know, your words matter!! A true friend would never laugh about, or write about the way a poet writes. We all write differently, and that is perfectly okay. Keep shinning my Winged Warrior friend. :) Love and Poetry. ~ Brandy
