Never Satisfied

Nervous flutters, against reaction
Emoting apathy, of mass inaction

Views: judges deemed pernicious
Evasion of truth, is more precious

Reeking, of dumbed-silent perfidy…

Self-satisfied, connoisseurs...
Acceptance of flat contours... 

The strivings - perfunctory
Its contrived soul's victory

Startled mute or the astute?
Failed words/candid pursuit?

In thoughts turning caustic
Evasiveness begets a static

Death's when a brain stops…
