Hunger's Needle

Acumen's voice smolders quietly
when deafened ears respond only
to discords of witlessness

Wisdom's heat invites comfort
its embers remain alive
its wake of constant resolve
lifts vigils of swirling persuasion

Buckle down, you’ll win the race

Need for expression, no need for that
Everyone needs to wear the same...

Susceptible to shadows which weave intricately 'gainst what better left to the naked eye.

Remove such stiflings so that the stars might shine through the soul,
Seeping into mine own.

Some became causeless rebels,
a few, artists, or poets.
