Obfuscate your little dramas
behind my hard work
branding lives of friends
overbearing over-sharing
sustaining recognizance
it’s all honey lemon lies
passing out our contagion
makes all the feels unreal
consort with another messiah
enraptured by your occupation
wishing to leave on foot
treading cold awake slowly softly
in panic under a blood moon
the biggest in years
fear under a heavy blanket
upon the dawning
cash in at Christmas
awaiting with proper vigil
the sigil of removal
and renewal
banal and cruel, disrespect
all for one thing
maybe nothing
kissing serpents in twilight
shaking hands solemnly,
it is surely something
remember pain is a creature living ….
it needs to be nurtured
so please be giving

This is phenomenal Olde Punk! The meter is sublime as is the weaving of consonance, assonance, and alliteration. So full of tasty lines. I love it!

pain IS a creature living….. and sometimes it is too well nurtured I think.
