Reality is intoxication
when ignorance is here
such suffering
a sort of on line holocaust
where fear
exchanges lamentation
for an outpouring of belief
for the painfulness of knowing
the mortifying grief
this is a plague
of disinllusionment
an affront to decent thought
an invidious and distasteful moment
with 500 or so caught
up in religious fervour
hysterical intent
agitated mongrels run amok
until they are spent
impassive and unconscious
in their woebegotten state
hideous and shocking
where few can now relate
to the gravity
and the unpropitious ways
of this sudden reign of terror
this craven quitter phase
revolting and abhorrent
nauseous am I
for numbness is a lost word
where the mountains meet the sky
