Downward Spiral...

This is just a Cage

where I am hidden

from Polite Society

so my improprieties

need not be made public;

Go die somewhere else

where we won't see,

so we can rest easy

in our Belief

that we did the best we could,

not for you,

but for ourselves;

As long as we are safe

the rest of the World

can be destroyed...

 

You don't see me,

you don't hear me,

you don't really want to know,

that far you don't want to go

for this Hell is too much

to ask of anyone

and I 'll bring you down

to the Depths with me,

both of us

gasping for Breath...

 

How many Times must I say,

in how many ways

must I express

or try to tell you;

you have no idea

of the Agony;

all you see are

my Attributes

and think that refutes

my Faults,

but they don't...

 

I can't, I won't

I scream, I Rage

and you turn the page

at another sad tale

nearing its untimely end;

be sure to send flowers
to mark where it was

not in your Power
or your Desire
or you were not Inspired...

Too tired, too weary

for nobody sees me,

only my Ghost...

Last Warning...

Fighting ourselves,

our Animal Nature,

the Sensual, Sexual

Social relationships,

the trips

down the Rabbit Hole,

the loss of Intellect,

giving way to Emotion,

the fading Self-Control;

is it all really

in how you roll?...

 

Don't fool yourself

(as if you ever could)

but isn't that the cause

of all the trouble

in the neighborhoods,

Fools parading,

Boys masquerading as Men

in the Animal Pit

this World had become?...

 

Run, now,

before it's too Late

for too long, Fools

you have stolen

from the Host's Plate

and soon you will

be tossed out

with the offal

for the Dogs to devour;

Fear the Trumpets,

the soon announce the Hour...
