Protruding horribly from the straining sockets,
    Express stupefied amazement at inconceivable

Something is amidst
There's foul play 
It doesn't add up
The numbers are way off.

Yet, here we are
Shaking in fear
Seeing a country
Stabbed in the chest
As crimson blood
0Stains the nation.

There's no way
That it was decided
From the get-go
Not all...

When entities dearest to them cease to be
when their natural instinct
to think wayward 
fades away
and the remedy for artistic loss is unheard off
Life loses its jazz thereof

Clinking, clinking
I heard the clinking in 
repetition
what could
cause
whatever object this is to
make this clinking sound.
Clink!
The loudest sound
yet.
peaking my interest
one's honest admission
dredged from it's
translucence
clear in obvious
objective
gaining my attention
I relaxed towards

blanketing myself
to warm my now
needing desire
