in lieu of life.

Hereon heroics shall be shallow cuts
accrued via crime & courting clutzes
In lieu of life, due to loss a lottery
I'll cradle cries & long for lobotomy.

Super-sized the shame, charlatans shine
slighted by their faux-fortress of shite
Asunder, my underling mind, it spits
pawned paupers' paltry, sodomised spirits

4 Fallen Years

Fast becoming 4 + a half
A teste treason enrapturing yet more of itself
Scant are the consolations that come dressed in disbelief
Hell-bent the distillations tritely trialing relief.

Minutes more mean my mind's at 5
Dead and darkened, hallucinating that Hell's been halved
Still, sunken scarlet tales twisting to tawdry fate's tumults
Stilted by the Harlot's Hour, that finally forwards our faults.
