Insidious
Open then your eyes
And you will thus see:
Loss in those hoarse highs
Thrill insidious spree.
Do not seek escape
For fate torments strain:
In a wild charade
That clusters more pain.
Do not run away
Into distraction:
For this is the day
To find extraction.
Evil wears a smile
Sly as motive hell:
Breakaway with style
To shores love can dwell.
Crafty cunning schemes
Upon idle minds:
Vile intent frames theme,
Primes insidious finds.
Do not be afraid
Of pain that now spills:
Purge all sense of dread,
Let peace of mind fill.
If your soul must win
Discern the wise way;
Gulp that tonic gin,
Blossom fitful play.
