7/9/20
"Sickening"

This is sickening
And quickening
Not at all, what I was envisioning

anger was my shield,
fear my faithful sword.

When hatred contaminated my heart,
tears ached for tranquillity,
polluted in guilt from selfish greed.

A painless realm daunting hidden charm
Neutrons and Adams, the beginning
Above the heavens, gods even sinning
