Wired mortal from the English Art
Banished from his home, spotted from a distance
Noble amongst scrawling African inscriptions
First veneration of mystical minds

From interrupters of our histories, 
With trophies,...

I observe your lifeless victims
From my tiny...

Suburban resident pretense, a bleak uniformity.
I grew up among the repetitious homes,
isolated alienated, I wandered the conformity,
the endless square yards, the dull feckless syndrome.

Repugnant yet intriguing, a redundant singularity,
fabrications of fortified, fraudulent self-deception,  
blocks...

Problem with Adonis was his dogged tendancy 
To battle heartfelt causes
Ominous obdurate tore us
Tenure, he died fighting against white supremacy

Abecedarian poems are also known as alphabetical sequential writings.
Being deviously different and difficult to
Compile, compose and complete.  Consequentially combining
Determination and deviant, driven poets devote determined time, and  
Exercise extreme etymological enthusiasm

Intentions and innermost desires from minds sparkle in your eyes
Surface simulations and aberrations fly off sugar-coated tongues
Where cavalcades of pesky pies and their ties to lies
Assail love clung, flung, hung, slung, strung, stung in beakers...

When my wayward mind is unsteady,
unbound from the righteous roots of sanctified soul,
the dislodging thrust of the negative sensitivity
unleashes the base instincts to rush feral on sordid trail.

Vanity, anger and greed, innately so compulsive,

Obdurate goat tangles rough knotted rope
Stuck beside shadowy friend, Silky Oak
Hedonistic prisoner capricorn, cheap trope
Ethics remain riddle, morals mere joke

Canopy clapping hands crush recollection

One wish is all that
is required to be simply commiting oneself
to that dream so unreachable by hands,
that leave streaks of hope

The rising evil endeavouring to engulf the beautiful realm,
The demon of the disease seems like, humanity it will overwhelm.
The pall of gloom spreading across the domains,
Compelling the world into deadly contrived chains.

where everyone dons a mask to conceal his face?
