Life Laughs Tragedy My Way
I walk without moving,
Across a world I can’t see,
As life laughs tragedy at me.
Laughter amidst the progress of man.
Languish against the prowess of man.
Malicious laughter raising "round-robin".
May I ask their intent?
Inquire of their bent?
My destruction?
Pure amusement?
Self defense?
What's your inspiration?
We watch your work and wonder.
What's your constant notion?
We walk the world. We wander.
You've lost me,
You've tossed me
To the dark, deadly depths.
You hailed me.
You failed me.
No reprise, no rest.
Solitary.
I have succumbed to seclusion.
Beat down.
Feeling the dry ground.
Fearing the melodic sound:
My desperate breathing,
My own heart beating.
Yet, even my fears could not imagine the depth of loneliness.
Every morsel has no flavor.
Every bite of this life is bland.
Though I strive to savor,
I cannot help but spit-out your offering of sand.
For the sake of being morbid
For the hope of seeming hopeless
I crawl through the dirt of graves
With astounding display of drama in the dragging of my legs.
Announcing the refusal of my remaining days.
A tantrum of sorts.
Played-out in the dust.
With Life and Death looking on in disgust.
