Addicted to demise Endless grey murk Sat heavy upon undulation
The hominid weaklings Fail to perceive, fail to act
A simulacrum of virtuousness
The stone is cast Vapour writhes in its wake
A surface seething gently Dark emerald and sickly pale Far below that, anguish Crisis surges from the depths
Seasons whirl Gradually blackening The process accelerates Action and reaction
Inviting to despoiling
You claim 'eerie prescience': I laugh at your aggrandisement Things have always been thus You just failed to notice until now
If I said that existence is Cartesian You would say: no, my experience is not If I am bereft, a new lover does Not make me who I was before
Bone dice have been rolled Reversal is impossible Forfeited mechanism The arrow’s oncoming Or poisoned boulder Picking up speed Your self-deceit punished By inexorable energy
Your preference is of no consequence The skeins have been plotted
When this has been expropriated And all has been expropriated And your endowment has been abolished Then you will know the wealth of my cruelty
