Boasters

Who are these that
          boast of banal glories!
           who drink at the fountain
           of void deeds...
           That blaspheme words
           as swords of conquest...
            anything...?
           They are the same ones that sail
            through the alleys of empty lives,
            across seas full of
            sunken ships...
            Walk under the moon of the dead,
            while regurgitating
            their
             poorest memories... !
