Isn't that AMAZING???
CAST DOWN INTO MIRE
the violent vision
the twisted sight
these infuse and theme the day
pressing currents deep within
to leave us primed
for sudden action
to fend off the attack
which never comes that way
how to be prepared
to fight the stressors
to parry thrusts
of vile mundane demand?
these are our nemesis
this our torment frame
how can we be steeled
against these barbs?
we are beaten down so much
by things with no hands
no face to strike
no form to crush
no shape to watch
for the attack
always stealthy
always by surprise
so here we are
broken again
betrayed by systems
on which we depend
swatted down
from noble orbits
shown once more
how little we matter
containments contort
warped from all intents
we are cast amongst the beasts
crawling through these lower states
to perhaps find some gems
hidden in the slime;
how can we maintain this
so cast down into mire?
