UNDERTOW


Tormented obscure words
Decaffeinated from reality
Warp the thoughts
In a society blameless
From ones own frailties
Nor can hiding in the fog
In the shadows of whispers
of drug induced truth
Remove the storm rising
creating illusions
For the labors of loneliness
The latest of symbols
in the passage of time
For reality is the kitchen
from which nightmares begin
Honor is ones own work
And poverty not the blame of others
for the winds of fate now blowing
Need only small sacrifices
The servants of darkness
From the sweat of labors
Not from the estate of the prodigal
The sum of which in the end
well bare the fruit and wealth
Rid thyself from the demons
of depending on the honor in thieves
