Fragments
this awful silence perturbs the night
twists and shatters a golden flight
a burning minstrel retells the cry
the brave men shout before they die
lyre strums amazing tool
liar perverts a simple fool
words are formed from letters and sounds
sentences constructed; verbs, nouns.
broken and twisted with meaning betrayed
and truth distorted for those who stayed
manipulation deceiving my intent
frighteningly close; the place I'm sent
your deception invades the brain
manipulates; becomes the stain
and lost for sake of sight
are those who rose in wondrous flight
deny the truth; the words they speak
petty and trifle; mild and weak
you think you threaten one such as i
you who jumps when one loudly sighs?
the order in which it occurs to you
is worse than what you put me through
words tumble down the page
ceasing meaning but fulfilling rage
philosophy, love hope hate
tell it all, refuse to wait
they cannot hold you back anymore
force your time sold as a whore
so transcend what lays before.
