Reservoirs of Fire

Daunted am Iby the pyramidswhich spring upall around me;dwarfed am Iby the sheer magnitude The stars presagea golden futurebut God knowsI am cynical A presence in an absence;an absence in a presenceonly time will tell One thing for sureI will not bendI will not budgeI will not breakfrom what I believeto be honourable and true My sequestered mindstretches itselfto the maximumto free itselffrom its shacklesand wonder intouncharted territory Life doesn’t reveal itselfin a flash -it  has taken billions of yearsto unfold its palmjust a little Are we coming nearerto the truthorare we moving farther? Ringlets of firefanned by an evil breezespirals out of controlspreading panic and treachery Resoluteshould be your gripor elseyou would shatter intoa zillion pieces Insanity residesalongsidethe most sublimestatesits seeds are irrigatedby egotistical rivers Reservoirs of violencehave flooded our planes;a pandemic of deathand destructionno matter which sideyou turn Will manever be lifted outof the desolationof darkness,propped uphigh enoughto see the light That which is designedfor pleasurecould unleashunmitigated pain;that which is designedfor painCould chasten I have had to give up my worldin a return for anotherthe heaviness weighs oppressivelyon my shoulders What a way to livewhat tyranny;what oppression;what cruelty;what evil;what hatredwhat incomprehension Difficult to get your headaround;difficult to reject;difficult to accept;absolutely impossibleto change
