The Heart of a Sad Man

Exonerating eyes that yield
     Upon the eyes of cyclopes,
Bemoaning and rancorous enigmatic 
     As we think. 
Ponderously, I swim to nausea,
     Galloping to forever dream. 
I see life in gargantuan way, 
     Neither the illusion of the majestic
Enthralled and reverberating echo, 
     Of thy thunderous anger, I fear. 
For this is the summation 
     Of my grieve heart. 
In this way, I may die a loser, 
     A beaten man. 
With pity and devouring rage
     To that sun, to that arrogant feisty sun. 
For this, I'm a rotten down-trodden
     Sad, sad, sad man.
