Prisoner In Whole

PRISONER: IN THE (W)HOLE

In mystic maze of dungeon, life etches pain
     deep in the womb of mind.
Light taunts the darkness; vision sneaks in and
     sanity lurks in closing twilight of fear. 

Death laughs at cringing realities
     suicide refuses to notice: a thought
Conceived in contradictions of this God
     forsaken (w)hole.

The blackness is and I am 
     solitarily confined; sacrificed
To the blind goddess: Justice 

Echoing freedom in mystic maze
     of dungeon.
