The stunning mosaic of Fear
easled as higher Art
within the banquet halls of the esurient Heart-
the going price
a damning diminution
of Transcendence, Absolution.
The massive cloak of Apathy
modeled as finest wear
though shockingly bare, there underneath
within the Saturnine Soul
yet also holstering both Sword & Sheath.
The harmonically dissonant opus of Rage
rocking & rattling the glass cage
backed by the shattering soprano scream
of a mind all too in tune
to the cruelly evasive Cathartic Dream-
a refrain ending none too soon.
