Crush

I’m not writing this for you, silent intemperate witness
 the same rain paints your canvas but lifeless
 self neurosis constricts and binds rainbows
 from adorning walls of crashing acidic lies
 Honesty laced with empathy, is it that hard?

 Crushing waves of apotheosis, honour and kin
 the only traits noble of hominine sacrifice
 left on broken blood soaked shores of lassitude
 The web glues all whether you like it or not
 lighting up every cell to stimulate interior growth

 Reawaken to the facts and reconnect, everything is waiting
 opposite the shores of occupation and self-immolation
