Madness ensued
in dark corners and wretched taver
where I insulted myself, and I go
by a tribal aggression; must retal
and avenge for society’s sake.

Loud angry voices
emanating throughout
the land trying best
to think best about
what is best. Argue best.

I wish I could recuperate.

The best of the idea,

I, with masculine energy,

I keep seeing

fallen into a sense of despair
and feeling brutalized
by life.

Stardust in the mind,
I contemplate in exact answers,
