The world
Overflowed with rage
Unleashed in panicked streams
For the gutters of his mind
And all too soon
He staggered
In the curves of his youth
Drunk
On the fumes of mankind
In his hollow gaze
Was the stroll of kin
For whom he lovingly strained
From infernal distress
All too soon he was crushed
In the surge
In the foam of the world
Unyielding
And boiling with strife
