A tear is a wasted plea on an ocean of indifference <br />Sufficing no exhaustion for the bedlam of the feeble <br />Enacting too their ticketed automated destruction <br />Through raptures engines of capacious waves <br />Crushing and subsuming their existence to a <br />Repeating Echo fading at the dusk of a dying day <br /> <br />A tear is unfulfilling rein cheque for self-fulfilment <br />For a permanent position situated in the wasteland <br />Of certified mediocrity, in the medicine of dentistry <br />Proscribed to Dinosaurs forsaken too eviction <br />By circumstantial landlords hired by providence <br />To eliminate rudiments of the honourably inept <br /> <br />A tear is drawing the katana to perform Hara-Kari <br />In the middle of the second act of your existence <br />Performed To a dwindling audience of derelicts <br />Who will gladly applaud when stealing your clothes <br />Debasing twice what you earned in sacrifice <br />For the glory of nothing in the spite of yourself <br /> <br />A tear is everything that I am, and made to weep for <br />flesh, bone and ash<br /><br />Kevin Patrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tear-30/
