We'Re All Good, Evil
We are all good
Are made so
We are all evil
Tho’ we do not know,
‘Tis veiled fantasy
Cloaked between soul and the skin
For a self ignorant
Chasing good and the sin,
Against a triumph that defies us
Denies us a tranquil breath
And lingers upon the morose heads
Like slothful beasts in a mournful wreath,
Thriving for recognition
In a lonesome longevity,
We seek a survival
Till we are laid to rest
In some heath,
Where the sighs go screaming
Screams fade unheard,
Flattened once, one after another;
Every single plea mouldering away
From a lip that shall not enquire,
An exigency knowing no impunity
Except for a soul that sought
Amidst a burgeoning appetite
Piety, in all the false life
Proved mistaken to seek naught,
But Plentitude!
