Haunted

His agonized inhabited mind haunted 
by peaceless imaginative thought,
extremely distressed, his spirit daunted 
with severe revelations of supernatural 
phenomenon, so distorted caricatural
features indescribable by the untaught,

exorcism perceived as emotional relief 
for his tormented mind created by him,
comforted by his faith and strong belief 
miraculous event now urgently desired 
penance to alleviate his guilt  required,
tormented by ghostly sight of his victim.
