loanly sorrow in attachment and fascination
we are a name narrowly focused
on lonely sorrow...

when the bells of midnight begin their toll
gracelessly we grasp empty pockets
to remit solitary recompense
for vainly demanding
a separate suffering soul.

and we are in such denial of our lifelong debt
we amass even more to continue yet
because on it
our damned upside-down life depends.

depraved then, is this foolish duty that we impose
on our errand runners unto the regions of death
where for us and them, one way or another
life as we knew it, can only end...

...in triumphant self loathing, the root of arrogance
is proven far greater than our will
deep inside, for what we so desperately owe, our false
self interest is doubling the past due bill...

while our hard won intolerance
evolves an identity that lies and pretends
until exposed for what it is, a jealous prejudice
both devious and blindly oblivious...

...to the infinite of love and forgiveness
that endlessly, everywhere extends.
