Vermin

You reapers -
you demons consume the blind.
Cloaked in gold -
burning futures, destroying lives.

So come and take it -
Effluent miasma growing.

You creatures -
skin of humans, souls of ghosts.
Shrouded motives -
pages torn tied into ropes.

So come and take it -
jaws open, a negligent nemesis.
So come and take it -
a monster, a nightmare descending again.

You will never take it away - the flame
that burns alive inside these cages that shape us.

Vile seekers -
The vermin of humankind.
Exacerbating
futility and wringing it dry.

So choke and taste it -
jaws open, a negligent nemesis.
So cold and graceless -
A monster, a nightmare descending

You will never take it away - the flame
that burns alive inside us and rages.
You will never take it away - the flame
that never dies, only morphs and shapes us again.

Into life -
this suffering retired
Into light -
far gone, beyond the reach of their crooked sights.

You will never take it away - the flame
that burns alive inside us and rages.
You will never take it away - the flame
that never dies, only morphs and shapes us again.
