33. A Devious Plight

There were no survivors in this war
Victimised and brutally beaten
They were skinned alive
Gory but the truth
No shadows or highlights
I paint not bright colours of sunshine nor the devil's heart
I portray simply as it is
The truth

Fragmented
Soulless
Heartless indeed

Shattered long ago
The dreams and hopes
An illusion of the credal
Misfit, misjudged, mistaken to be real

I set out on a path of redemption
To gain protection
Be the lawyer to a criminal in disguise
Be the defendant
Be the saviour
To your forthcoming liquidator

Harsh, the reality
Your story bathetic or truly pathetic indeed?
Scream, the name
Your future lays scarce to the vast majority of liars, traitors and obnoxious dwellers from the centre of our land.

And where may that be?

The heart of our planet
The eye of my world
The core of earth I say,
Where aught reside?
