Iniquitous priests and cannibals Absolve Then feed Upon childhood dreams I cannot breathe Any longer In this unfiltered Parsimonious pond Must Push back what entangles Must Pull away from a myriad of angry souls Must Lift this ill-harboring mind free Agony He is my constant friend And He reminds me I'm (somewhat) alive And That one shiny day Along the suspicious river Difficult I will finally slay him

In the Final Throes
Iniquitous priests and cannibals Absolve Then feed Upon childhood dreams I cannot breathe Any longer In this unfiltered Parsimonious pond Must Push back what entangles Must Pull away from a myriad of angry souls Must Lift this ill-harboring mind free Agony He is my constant friend And He reminds me I'm (somewhat) alive And That one shiny day Along the suspicious river Difficult I will finally slay him
BLT's continued challenge - to write a poem using the Merriam-Webster word of the day, parsimonious.
