@d-pend +An obscenity of eloquence
follows the zealot —
determined to spurn
any trace of reverence
—with smooth lies.
Ends before means,
extinguishment of principle
in the shadowed medium
of illusion insensible.
Guard your heart;
hold close your mind.
The animal within
is gullible — anything you find
superficially glamorous
can seduce your spirit
if you allow it to enter
and fester venemous.
Gaussian edges,
tunnel of hyperbole.
Hyperpolarized smudges
grow sharp as night sentry
with infrared scopes.
Still burn the fond hopes;
still flows the heart's stream
held in sway by the elements
of destruction's fell dream.
Rise above and be blessed;
emerge forth and break free
from the shackle-strewn nest:
from the beauty-strung house,
of the gold-mansioned louse—
eloquent-trimmèd false obscenity.
