The air is heavy None can breathe. In this place No smiles, just grief. A barren wasteland. Fallout from the Phantoms. Menaces whose pleasures lie In the pain and misery Of those beneath them. Their feet press Down upon the chests. Anxiety builds like Pressure from a fire hose Capable of tearing Flesh from bone, Crushing rib and spine Leaving one in Dread and despair, Like lost souls Over a scorched earth From burning hell fire. There is no joy. No satisfaction. No sense of community. Only desolation and desert With dead camels, And vultures Circling their rotting corpses; Life ****** right out. In here, The fools leading fools Leading the Intellect, And no end in sight From this eternal misery JM 10/26/16

Eternal Misery
The air is heavy None can breathe. In this place No smiles, just grief. A barren wasteland. Fallout from the Phantoms. Menaces whose pleasures lie In the pain and misery Of those beneath them. Their feet press Down upon the chests. Anxiety builds like Pressure from a fire hose Capable of tearing Flesh from bone, Crushing rib and spine Leaving one in Dread and despair, Like lost souls Over a scorched earth From burning hell fire. There is no joy. No satisfaction. No sense of community. Only desolation and desert With dead camels, And vultures Circling their rotting corpses; Life ****** right out. In here, The fools leading fools Leading the Intellect, And no end in sight From this eternal misery JM 10/26/16
