Black flies

Not in sight

not by day

Nor by night

Sinking ships

Sunlight figures

Turn grey and figureless

Lost in space

Lost in time

No rythym

Nor rhyme

Words lose meaning

Truth stinging

Emotions bleeding

Pooling into misunderstanding

Trying to piece it together straining

Looking down upon sanity

Blasphemous in my vanity

Double standards

Life's dander

Dont mean to banter

In a mental decanter

I recount my misdeeds

Still planting bad seeds

Untruths turn to lies

In a world of black flies
