Blandishments eroded invaluable necessary treasured alms

Existential nihilism rent psyche asunder
courtesy unforeseen deadly bombs
lobbed by computer hacker and scammer

college expenses require pay,
they sent me up Whithorn Mountain,
put me in a cabin to stay.

Every morn I climb the tower
to make sure the forests don’t burn,
underestimated the boredom,

The gods must be crazy to create such bad logic, 
To validate suffering, pain and distress, they tick,
To allow their existence, ‘cos that’s what logic’s for, 
Logic defines the systems and structures which soar.

I'm OK, you're OK

you were my pillar
when I was carrying the earth above my shoulders and

Shifting the kitchen curtain over
to the right, separating thin window from wall. 
There's a resistance to witness,
dark light of troubled pane as
an imbalance offsets my true

Hurtful words followed by deriding deeds.
There is no escape, there is not an out.
How to handle the necessary needs?

slowly melting into a sea of...
