INVOKING TO JUSTIFY
Undeflecting
In dreams
For this I bleed within
Diamonds
In heaps of bitter ash
Shards of glass
Revealing
Slicing at the flesh
To purge the world beneath
Where memories of conflict
Fraught with betrayal
In hindsight all is clear
This thing that never was
Cathedral of deception
Invoking to justify
A litany of harmful transgressions
Invoking to justify
The Devil's rule book on loyalty
With clarity and purpose
The hideous face revealed
Negate the opiate
Invidious affection
With nowhere to hide
Demonic self-deception
Inform without answers
Worn by adversity
Deplorable decisions
Into this headlong rush
The inescapable
Conclusion
Control
Manipulation
Examine affliction
Insentience
Resolve
Rejecting defeat
Revisit the throes
Infused with hatred
Belligerence
With nowhere to hide
Demonic self-deception
Inform without answers
Worn by adversity
Deplorable decisions
Into this headlong rush
The inescapable
Conclusion
Control
Manipulation
Examine affliction
Insentience
Resolve
Rejecting defeat
Revisit the throes
Belligerence
Control
Determination
Rejecting defeat
Transcending affliction
Becoming Resolve
Manifestation
Of belligerence
