Virtue
O' thornZ
empty

thy
avarice dwellZ {}
empty
shoreZ therein
thy
malice wailZ {}
Herein
lies,
Thy
Cold piano worn 🎹
Mold
on thy harpsichord
O'
Broken'd stringZ ~
Proud
crieZ O' scorn...
betwixt
blood droplets
from
thy ratchet'd
Virtue
O' thornZ ...
Loud
Songbird 🕊️
O'
tortur'd wingZ ~
a
false sublimity forewarned...
Wherefore
reality stingZ~
thy
Withered Soul
Tempestuously
singZ~
thy
songZ O' tethered Divinity torn...
2
blind ta see the sign •
with
gauged eyeZ
in a
Putrid darkness---
pon'
thy prophecy O' lieZ (rendered)
heartless---
Embracing
thy ®uby stone
Dancing
on a landmine •
(dismembered)
Thoughtless---
Lost
in this Bliss---

SinZ
of My Poppa
Poppa
was a Cheater,
so i
did the same/
Poppa

bare his likeness,
&
name/.
Poppa

(yeah)
Poppa was Sharp\
from
his head 2 his toeZ-
(yeah)
i took this 2 heart\.
Now
Poppa had a Temper*

Temper is Hot)
4 as
long as i remember*
but
some thingZ i 4got).
Cuz
Poppa had Addiction°
his
vice was the bottle---
(Meanwhile)
weed
was my affliction°
i
did that full throttle---.
Poppa
had different Women,
for
different occasions^
i
did the same,
thought

But,
Poppa

A
Shepherd at day break
As I
walk
2
the ledge O'
terrain~•
I do
sulk
on
the edge of
tear
rain~•
bout
ta leap
where
the sheep
gnaw
the grain~•
out
ta seek
Death
☠️

all tis' a game. ~•
As I
walk
2
brink
of
demise ∆
Reaper
stalkZ
I
feel clinkZ
In
the rise ∆
Heart
iZ dark 🌑
TearZ
I blink
I
despise ∆
mine
deep waterZ 🌊
wherein
shark 🦈
seek
ta rise. ∆
Yea,
as I
step
2
the flick O'
the
flame 🔥*
ev'ry
quick breath
tis'
yet tethered
in
shame *
Mine
soul dim
bereft
till
the wind
told
my name *
as a
kin
whence
one's limbZ
fold
in pain *
Quoth
the wind "
son
thy starZ
still
remain {}
Love
again
without
remorse
nor
disdain {}
hope
& passion 4 Life
doth
sustain {}
knoweth
time
Tis'
more fleeting
than
fame" .{}
I
turn away
from
the ledge
O'
terrain \
I
yearn for dayZ
with
my greyZ
Unrestrained
\
standing
proud
In
Blue Dusk...
Betwixt
cloudZ
I
Exclaim \
And
doth shout,
2
the Dust...
"I
SHALT NOT
DIE
IN VAIN"!! \
