Shouting with frenzied

Anger at all nothingness;

Echoes of everyday living that

Will not be denied with

A pacing of life’s treads,

Ringing with fury in my

Head filled with madness.

Gone, gone all gone to the

Devil and the Flying Dutchman,

Who only receive the lost

And disillusioned into their

Dark world, where the only light

Is the vehemently glowing coals

Flipped, whirring through space

To keep them alive and well done.
