Conflict

Conflict

Bereft of a moral compass,
Crass voices, a malignant tirade,
Cottonmouth midst a rumpus,
Shelter and wilt, yet unafraid.

Numb to a chorus of spew,
Eschew demons in wait,
Surreal musing askew,
Dreamscape in a state of spate.

Aplomb and poise in derelict,
Vanquished breath is certain,
Inevitable, wanton afflict,
I will fight before my final curtain.Β

Hello Simon,Β 
I think this is my first read of your work. I was pulled in right from the first line. such a well worded poem

Bereft of a moral compass,
Crass voices, a malignant tirade,
Cottonmouth midst a rumpus,
Shelter and wilt, yet unafraid.
Numb to a chorus of spew,

sometimes we can be so switchedΒ off to the carnage we throw up out of our mouths. Your visuals were so strong in this piece. Cleverly woven lines that impact the reader, causing much reflection on the depressive state of mindΒ 

Brilliant :) GwenΒ
