Dogs on a Leash // 2019 (old unreleased poem)

-

Before, humanity survived sword and arrow.
Today we survive abuse.
We've got to kill them all.
They brainwash us all with lies.
They turn us into dogs on a leash,
they tear us apart in false sacrifices.

With ages gone, we've come to forget the past,
yet, blindly we commit the same mistakes, 
we destroy ourselves with hate and intolerance.

Not being able to recall, 
we've submerged in our delusions 
in projections of self-destruction. 
We've lost sight of our truth, 
for our hearts are no more.

There's far more to this dystopia. 
We can escape the end of times, 
collapse their feeble kingdom 
and the sun ought to reveal our path 
to eternity where idols are no more 
and honor's exalted and prevailed. 

note: revised and corrected.

Here's also the original version I wrote back in 2019:

Elegy

Why do I weep needlessly? Perhaps I should end it all, I still remember your smile but now my heart lies dead and cold. I know I'll have to live on bearing all this misery and guilt. Why do I sleep my days away? Perhaps it should have been me. Dreaming of you brings me closer to you, the memories we shared slowly heal me, soothing the hurt and tears away, perhaps at night I can meet you again. In my self-conceit I still love you. I feel your absence wearing on these walls, as time passes, I'll fade out with you, fade with the regret, the love, the memories, hanging on to you until we meet again. image: https://www.pexels.com/photo/grayscale-photography-of-flowers-in-bloom-35766/

Grief

No truth lies where love blooms, everything dies and withers, so I shall cross out my own life for these tears won't release me. I search not for beauty, for it'll betray me the most, my life I indolently forfeited in the hope of overriding the guilt. "I still love you all so much, I feel so conflicted, when will the day come? When will it finally come?" I still remember your beautiful gestures, I'm afraid of the day when none of it will hurt, a time will come where my darkness  finally envelops me in a grim light  burning my shattered longings away. image: https://pixabay.com/photos/waterdrop-grief-trauerkarte-4474336/

Escapism (Reimagined)

-
Image
In the distance a melody resounds with the veil of an old broken beauty, like poison languishing in our tongues. Dead dreams glooming in lost tears whipping the flesh of my false beliefs my punishment is to catter the seven seas. Doom has blown its trumpet permanence has torn apart all eternity suffering will evermore be my mark. Pain is the path I'm willingly imprisoned, love has become a plagued hellscape. My struggles I wear with a silent pride, away where healing's out of hope. “The wounds will never heal, my hands are filled with sorrow and my days are decaying into insanity. I'm getting tired of always moving forward, how much longer will I do my wait?” original release: https://detextor.blogspot.com/2020/02/escapism.html image: https://www.pexels.com/photo/factory-chimney-smoke-221000/
