Living In a Circle

Fog drifts hazy over the floating 
signs of bent sheets of silver 
collected by the acid dripping 
gentiles who have 
surrendered themselves 
to positions 
of prestige. 
We prod our feet in rebellion 
hoping the effort 
will not 
be in 
vain. 

I myself saunter into the game 
fully expecting to be 
compensated for 
the brain cells 
I have killed. 

Screeching monks who are chanting 
mournful melodies circle 
the vital parts 
of tasteless 
druids eating 
ice cream 
from a dish. 

I was the one who noticed 
that the robes they 
wore were black 
as the symbols 
fixed in 
their eyes. 

An easy target of caressing doom 
which fluttered happily 
upon the 
precarious wires 
stretched across 
the messages 
of illuminated words. 

And in the middle of the night 
the fog lifted 
attitudes were resigned. 
Figures of men who 
stopped preying 
on innocence were 
in some sort of 
tragic bliss. 

Intricate designs of left 
and right 
became the emblems of 
success. 

I was the one who pulled 
the plug 
by pointing out 
the number of times 
the signs fell 
to the ground.

Druids eating icecream

 Right on, satisfaction is a destination not just a journey, striving to succeed we sometimes lose ourselves in the process.
