Mary’s Vice

Voluptuous virtues he swore he would share  

Fraternizing with folklore for the sake of a faith based cure

Reading the words of a quill scribble scare,

 

Touting the tales of those who have already seen where this go’s,

Flirting with prescribed predictions despite doc being six feet below

 

Unable to hear this

Those of a breathless conviction

Of a possible conscience

 

Personally pathetic, the absence of your acceptance,

Mortality is not insignificance

So keep this between us if eternal darkness sparks your interest,

 

I’ve grown intolerable of,

In horror of,

The Extorting,

Marketing,

******* of,

Prophesized certainties

The lives they took the souls they shook,

From shillings to dimes,

For centuries you’ve tried

Labeling me at infancy,

Condemning me as if it took a martyr to open my eyes

 

You’ve been attempting to defy the possibility that,

Good can be,

Physically derived,

 

Scared of the potentiality

A human worthy of being primed,

To senate your anxieties.
