By michaelw1two Worrisome proves one’s life these days, the pocket’s heft, each bill that’s late paid; subconscious rue; what is life worth, unknowns aside, we’re just profit’s aides; thought’s remix, all life’s pros and cons, controls suspend, who rules these charades; disturb mind’s mean, these conscious trends, living thinned, in an instant remade. Personal, and with (privates) speak, through idea and ideal’s occults; reality’s din, blares out thoughts, (evasively) seeped of ‘crazed’ result; unstable hopes and wicked schemes, evil thrives, it's minions hurl insults; stripes pare man’s flesh, (erase) one’s dreams, plans made (recede), upon time’s faucalt. Confusing now, the masses claw, for life’s lone thread, and pray not to fall; future’s questioned, will fate break through, domination curses, time’s laugh scolds; certain (numbers,) are digit fiends, over callus pricks, wield handheld awls; rise towards which mountains, drink what thrills, humankind earned, nothing but hate’s scrawl. Towards whose ends, is one’s lifetime played, while evil’s cruel stench, assails all souls; each sense, the nerve, all sacrilege, living’s roots remiss, of faith’s recall; individuals, refute God, realms above, reject thought’s wherewithalls, demise of (graciousness), our trust abhors, rot and suffering; each human's thrall. Reflection’s nuance, in evil’s ayes, away from them turn; ‘their’ mindset shun, mirror in conscious, your heart’s truth, within your lifetime’s moment's passions; overall else, spurn wickedness, humankind’s blithe eschewed commotions; society’s gasps, love survives, core issue bared, life means (trust) emotions. Choices, sway each person’s (true) worth, you’re understanding, it’s spite’s remix; decision’s snap, turns mind’s directs, ideal’s ounce weighted, your Id resists; define one’s (touch), its thought’s mental, establish for life, (judgment’s) (twists); character, blends towards these (mindsets,) self or else; your life or putrid cyst. Self-worth, therefore is one blank page, unknowingly tense, when life’s upstaged; demands of itself, one’s lifetime turned, forgetting self’s (values) through life’s rage; constant attentions, need's ends meet, unforgiving thoughts pause, minds engaged; effort wasted, towards conscious ends, life spills; of it's flow be so afraid.
