Rendered Dark

A terrible tragedy occurs, We do not move to handle it, Yet we wallow in our own self pity, And allow ourselves to enter the maze The labyrinth has a centre that stuns and confuses Why enter the furthest distance from the exit Rejuvenated in Summer and cowering away in winter, Yet it is summer elsewhere We do not have mercy for ourselves, The indistinguishable difference between humanity and pity Emulating a casing disproving of truly digging deeper Angry and hating what we might find You see a pyramid, made by Gods, worshiped by ancestors Casual to us until we hear of locks Blacksmiths forge the key And produce it available to the common rat Plaguing the details of an event unbeknownst to us Tangentially spewing albeit still connected to the central circle Whatever point you leave you come from the same How can you describe the catch 22 answers are not enough to explain the downtrodden expression of a lonely man Without a dog perhaps dead, the sadness drives him to rage Which unearths and unholy truth Everyone has a beast and all it takes is a little nudge
