Atonement

Atonement


                        Words laden with regrets spilled over profusely
                        Regurgitating blobs of ancient narcissistic deed
                        Awaken realization for vanity obfuscates reality
                        Enchanted by the force of hallucinogenic greed


                        To gyrations life dances oblivious towards time
                        Sparks amidst a storm ignites portentous skies
                        As Earth navigates apathy decimates the clime
                        Incredulous eyes evokes counsel from the wise


                         When youth ebbs spider webs embellish a face
                         Engrained memories from yesteryear reappear
                         The future herald adversities he must embrace
                         Bestowed clemency atonement overpower fear
