The alarm tolls, On their rude device- It's time for work & yet still, despite the thousand fascets of one reality These middle-aged Half-life(s), These Newbrunswickin Chavs Wouldn't recognize, really, That Despite the riddle's answer, Being  E; & that double decade, One might have over me, When direct Questions go unanswered; The respect I require (now unvield) Shapeshifts, Off, into the past Oh, how I  become The Whip Ruthlessly; they crack The Whip & with All that I am, the past, In desperation, I forcefully trick As the blackness, of my being Forms a darkness, spilling thick. Engulfing light- mind's eye's Unseeing,   Consumes oneself, like a candles wick - Illuminating every route (for fleeing) For me, the lights still on- homesick. Forcefully, faithfully; to keep on believing, & even just to keep the pathway lit- by headlight, sunbeam, or doomscrolling trip- Understand why might a human being 'S now become The Whip

It's Time / The Whip
The alarm tolls, On their rude device- It's time for work & yet still, despite the thousand fascets of one reality These middle-aged Half-life(s), These Newbrunswickin Chavs Wouldn't recognize, really, That Despite the riddle's answer, Being  E; & that double decade, One might have over me, When direct Questions go unanswered; The respect I require (now unvield) Shapeshifts, Off, into the past Oh, how I  become The Whip Ruthlessly; they crack The Whip & with All that I am, the past, In desperation, I forcefully trick As the blackness, of my being Forms a darkness, spilling thick. Engulfing light- mind's eye's Unseeing,   Consumes oneself, like a candles wick - Illuminating every route (for fleeing) For me, the lights still on- homesick. Forcefully, faithfully; to keep on believing, & even just to keep the pathway lit- by headlight, sunbeam, or doomscrolling trip- Understand why might a human being 'S now become The Whip
