Chapter 188

Elusive Illusions

We think we have found the one
There really is no such thing
Visions clouded with lust and greed
To them another meaningless fling

Their payoff of indifference
Surrounded by nothingness
Their goal of complete victory is
Our obedience and submissiveness

We can surrender our true self
For the knowing hurt yet to come
We always know how the story ends
Spit out and ground up into chum

Slowly they mash and grind away
Annihilating the fabric of our existence
Any minuscule scrap our subsistence
Coexistence eradicates our resistance

We take the blows and the heat
Fill our mind with impossible delusions
Perpetually knowing eternally within
Love and happiness are elusive illusions

Nobody
