The veil of ostensible happiness raised
And the bitter truth revealed
With the heartless sound of the gavel
A long overdue judgement pronounced
Yet again bereft of purpose
Imprisoned on an abandoned raft
Shackled to the impregnable hopelessness
Paralysed by an overdose of lethargy
Petrified by the horror of calmness
Drifting on the dark waters of boundless void
Awaiting indefinitely for the predestined doom to come
