unnatural recourse

a minor detail

amounts to a fatal flaw.

character development,

mistake adds to mistake.

an unnatural course

blazes a synthetized trail

through the wilderness.

equal amounts of

success and tragedy
lie on either side.

smiles and tears,
frowns and rhapsody
sublimely round off the
edges of the lives
of small things.

we wonder,

why us?

when we know

no reason,

why not us.

we will learn when
we ruin rules
and learn new ones.

pyramid the ruins

in god, we trust
we may betray,
priceless genius
utterly worthless.

(ill)uminati,
incomplete,
incompetent,
illegitimate,

you kill
good will,
along
with love.

you believe
as devils deceive.
obsolete sapience
advocates torture.

i lay low
so to lay
you low.
