I become more perplexed by society's, diminishing standards of Humanity.................... but still I strive
on the fullness of each breath I'm allowed..........
on the wings of each prayer.......... already said for me

I grow grey.... sometimes bitter.... and without remorse....
in this ...... my season of discontent...
There are lapses in invitations..... to my own festive moments
None such as Love dare enter this space...
...only sorrow may find shelter...
in a place of demoralized truths....

I've got my own shit to grieve with...
and you care-less... bout the innocence I cling to..........
No other can mourn their deaths ....as I have lived...
and a rich man values ....... no shame
But this man.... any man............still rich in spirit
flowers in moments from the Infinite.

I cry out to the Heavens now......... 
seeking forgiveness..... for wrongful deeds of mine...
White noise in my blackened heart....... drown out.....
my cries rise ...... to un-deafened ears..

So today.... while myths remain binding.....
and ambition travels in senseless ways...
my fears lighten........... my soul darkens....
but still I grow ........ through this unenlightened phase...
