Wise Postulations of Existence for the Damned
Wise Postulations of Existance for The Damned
Solitude the pathway for self authentication
Interludes of what to say in the process of individuation
Attitudes of slow decay born from ill-considerations
Platitudes in early May about spring time commiserations
Various forms of entropy existing in the atmosphere
Precarious storms of ignomy resisting the biosphere
Nefarious swarms of privacy persisting through the tears
Hillarious warns the indignity insisting on perpetuating fears
Beached whales lined up on a distant shore
Reached sales upon the warehouse floor
Teach the fails to hit the target and never ask for more
Leaches, sails, newts and artists that ask what it’s all really for ?
Conversations of resistance behind a beer soaked bar
Invocations of insistence as the joke has gone too far
Intonations of coincidence upon the backseat of his car
Renovations of pure self-defense as we defend all that we are
Monumental distortions of reality and truth
Consequential misfortunes and an entirely misspent youth
Environmental disproportions stretched beyond scientific proof
Coincidental extortions of the law by the criminally uncouth
Complimentary postulations about what it means to be a wife
Reudimentary indignations about how not to live your life
Sedimentary geographic formations as the earth increases in strife
Elementary imitations of a rare collection knife
Swearing on a stack of Bibles that you’re not telling a lie
Waiting for a revival as the earth begins to die
Stating a perfect recital as what’s worse for both your eyes
Integrating what is vital before you evolve into becoming wise
