    Crucible

    A widening hole of disapproval;
    as the deepest recesses of a tortured
    soul continue loving unconditionally.
    Constant evaluation closes the
    window to any form of exegetic
    self improvement.

    Searching for justice, true
    and total emancipation, yet society
    pulls the strings of possible
    fortune, and its definition.
    Both physical, and emotional tension
    find their ways to tired eyes,
    sunken cheeks, and worn faces.

    Taking part in our progression
    forward is a denial of acceptance,
    which breeds utter complacence, but
    monetary value has reared its
    disastrous head; destroying value
    systems, even those of the greatest
    dissenters.

    An upheaval of conscience, while in
    constant strain a shadow of perceived
    ideological incentives, now becomes
    corrosive. Rotting away is the very
    sanity many define as stability, in
    pure reference to their deference of
    virtual vanity.

    The shackles of individual vision
    bind them to the criticisms of American
    ethics. When true freedom is all they’re
    reaching for, but the entangled lot
    of them clang, and clink together
    metaphorical sparks illuminate the
    darkness, revealing the harshest
    realities. We’re all bounded together,
    through idea and its function.
    We’re all to be brought down together.
    Weighed down by our concept of
    individualism, not cooperation.
    A plight made easier to fathom,
    whilst one is fright filled by the
    throes of night.

    Questions abound, but answers
    are destined to elude him.
    Consistent by nature, but erratic
    in action; his wants out weigh
    his resolve. He yearns to taste the
    savory sentiments of reform, so
    he may relieve his resentments.
    Only one conclusion may save him
    now, seclusion.

    The illusion of a movement
    is emblazoned upon a fantasy,
    regenerating a veneration for
    the arbitrary truce of accepting their
    tightening noose, their own defined
    escape plan. A stand that will bring
    about great consequence, but to
    quench the thirst of definition
    means more to them now, than the
    frail bodies they struggle to keep
    erect.

    An echelon, whose steps are
    steep stands before all of us. Ascending
    deep into the abyss of our conjured
    conscience, where stars of faulty
    faith illuminate all our weary faces,
    creased so our tears know all too well
    their path, and our heritage can
    celebrate our future. As leadership
    surrounds all of them, the fear becomes
    residual motivation.
    They shed their skins, brandishing
    new soft supple flesh, all too vulnerable
    to attack, but it’s not the physical
    their designed to protect, it’s the silent
    internal, composed of all our dreams
    which compel us to strike back
    swearing of their traced course,
    swearing off their forcible concepts
    of importance, and swearing off
    their control of our psyche’s.

    Scars mark the removal of
    dogmatic apparatuses, a chiseled
    body rises amidst the carnage,
    allowed now in full breadth to
    feel the immense pressure of our
    journey. A flurry of anti- anything
    rhetoric infiltrates ears, but filtered
    properly they can be translated as
    romantic overtures built of doubt,
    for fighting in truth one’s mouth must
    remain closed, so the action may
    become a solid platform, from which
    his temple may grow.
