Ones Entity

Assessments of one's entity brings, A stabbing sense of double entendre, Filing away at my character, With deep scrutiny brings deep affliction, My pride is all but redundant, In such a critical sway of time, Deferring a dream for addiction, Such a naive victim to crime, Rediscovering past benevolence, The heart behind the curtain, Shading his burnt path of violence, An ill-fated atrocity was certain, Abandoning abysmal conspirators, A smooth remedy to cure my hatred, Looking, longing for a skyward balance, Holding close what is oh so sacred, Staring into the contrivance, That could end or save his world, Offering his soul for relief, Holding in his hands each pearl, Closing his hands together, To mix his alien fates to be, He tosses them into his pocket, And procrastinates to stay free.
