looks so tired and worn
when asked to respond
he could only say something no one could understand

For a security slot, A Sluggard,
For a praised company, rather haggard:
From long unemployment a drunkard,
Full tankard draining after full tankard.
Also, a listener at nights to Bard
And could Security suspend for Card,
Still, hopefully, he seeks to be her guard:
In many circles this fulfilling dream bared,
Most likely to collapse, if he is barred…
But a company won’t have things snapping
Through a guard sure to be caught just napping!

bruised zeal bled
crumbling callous crest
hoisted hanker smote
cranky curves clothe
hanky panky puked
vying voluptuous views
porous pen peered
pulpy paranormal reared
felon feasting fear
sassy syllables etched
in punctured pest
whooshing pasts wet
haggard future feigned
dark drips craved.

dusty drips drooling
inky lits lurching
felon fits fostering
callous contractions cupping
Haggard how hankering
oily oceans assembling
nocturnal nature nimbling
fiery feelings seducing
airy allotment amputating
bounty pulses puncturing
severed seals smirking
damp dark dancing
multifarious means metamorphosing
all transcending tottering.

Demonic voices
Drenched in acid rain
Despicable noises
Depressing pain
Hand me the gun
Free your soul
Break the mold
The sun was shunned
Thorns twisting around
Crushing your bones
Corrupting your senses
A guise for dementia
Follow the buzzers
To a land barren and empty
Once so lush and vibrant
A broken nightstand memory
Masquerade misery as freedom
A land with dreams
Is now a dilapidated wasteland
Of antiquated ideas
Fracture bridges
To finalized the divide
War is coming
Disguised as righteous deliverance
A war to end all wars
An end to life as we know it
Pitiable but true
Embrace the apocalypse
Demonic voices
Drenched in acid rain
The ragged haggard man
Writes his final ballad

Save me your lies, just spare me the time
Beginnings and endings now hard to define
Greying and hazy, the edges have blurred
A hollow abyss but I'll never learn
No places to hide or discard this regret
No matter how dirty I'm willing to get
Haggard delusions of honeymoon bliss
Rasping last breaths through lifeless blue lips
Calloused,controlled, bloodied and bruised
I've a heart and a soul that I'm learning to use
I hate how I wait, standing in line
Parading and flaunting your evil designs
Yet still, you abuse once my senses are dead
I can't feel the beat so i claw at my chest
To check I still function, I'm being, I fight
To de-humanise me will come at a price
