Despair

Despair  clouds of anger  in drought   
Toll its  rhyme washed  own  trust
Escape its face aged still crisp visions  veil
Replace with  faceless shame  pave title of hate
Close its sphere hangs  prejudices  nowhere
Odds-on  steps  surveil passages  soak  in conflict
Tender the pain  redeem  its sins thrill  magnitude
Suicidal thought  be drug  calm relax  face the coming day
