A routine that is lived, <br />And negatively fed... <br />Leaves one to identify darkness, <br />As the only life there to share. <br /> <br />And unfortunate is the mind, <br />Stuck and transfixed... <br />On a daily search that seeks, <br />This to sow and this to reap as fit. <br /> <br />A routine that is lived, <br />And negatively fed... <br />Has accepted limitation. <br />With just wickedness to spare instead. <br /> <br />Options of alternatives... <br />Does not exist, <br />Inside this kind of head that dreads. <br /> <br />And one with a consciousness like this, <br />Is deeply troubled. <br />And has been convinced, <br />Any sign of happiness felt or by others shown... <br />Is a detriment to a kept and worshipped evil, <br />One wishes to spread and see condoned.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
