Night Life

As the beams in departure darkness, they crawl slowly taking charge and ready to rule that surrounded shell above all slouching in their aging gray fresh again after sloughing its light as plants in shift of their breath and creatures, they creep in gloominess in veil, another reality begins As shadows of loneliness dwells face of fear they show up In eyes the lazy bell rings most fading, lost in dreams The innocent souls, all lay in rest and troubles laid beneath blankets silence kissing gently over ears when saga of half-life once again opening its doors the back of dark awakes in vigor and legs of selfishness in motion together in hands of rebellious pleasure a cyclone stirs up inside them revolving around in claws of injustice all searching out in desperation in numerous, they swarm around carrying a glaring visage in glee a pernicious tar overruns them and eyes getting blinded by a smoky visor evils break through in boisterous force shillings and dimes they roll drenched in aphrodisiac, submerged in high jinks indulged in satire, heads go haywire imbibed in flood and drowned in insanity manhood lost in that reign of terror and humanity slaughtered along roadside when homeless becoming preys to their heinous hedonism the smell of kill engulfs the gloom along with sound of horror playing its notes blood they shatter portrait of death virtues washed away in alcoholic virulence victims in dismay, they float to those opened cavity laying generously the song of drunkards in background following the screaming souls to graveyard and we again in defenseless sleeps awaiting that forenoon, unaware of those perils but this tyrannical existence expanding the shadow of once again apocalypse.
