A descent remembered

This thin home breaking and falling away

As we burn hotter in flames of yellow and red

Each one stuck deeper and deeper within

Sometimes we cannot help but devour each other

May be we fill our stomach with the wrongs

You and I, we trade back and forth

But you stand round with griefless eyes

While your regrets consume like wild flames

Yet we let another slow procession weeping

And the burden is too hard to bear

Knee deep in it you grew weary and infamous

Through pains and sorrow

Find yourself lonely against your wish

Like the victims of kwashiokor

You loose weight in the limbs

And make it up in the belly

Until you can no longer stand or speak

But only wait broken and sad

When you were caught for a serious offence

You professed the name of a deity

To re-arm yourself and besiege our psyche

With your greek and bleeding charity

Hoping to heal your angry teethmarks

Like those brave people in grovelling silence

As you were beaten in the streets

Your manhood dangled like a dead lizard

You stay inside invisible pain bleeding

Still feeling the pr*cks in your feet

With unshed tears that linger
