brooding

heavily

over the many

different shapes

and forms

human beings

can take

a floundering

mind can

scarcely

encompass

the lie

invented by

inborn

malice

a shameless

lie from

beginning

to end

plunged over

into the

ugliness

of privilege

undeserved

intuitively

striving to

find a way

out of the

dilemma

drinking

the moonlight

and the

west wind

drowned

in poetic

impression

forcing

mankind to

unite into

a harmonious

society

but sacred

blood has

already been

spilt on the 

threshold

of the temples

a tortuous

path from

the hopes

of extending

the boundaries

of our existence

to an experiment

asking to 

be born

with the

absolute

and the

absurd

under

the wheel

of history

which  

in the midst

of things

may be

concealed

or rewritten

woven

together

and worked

into a

complex

narrative

but each instant

as it breaks away

from contradictions

is annihilated

like a 

fleeting cloud 

passing

in front

of the sun

which can never

be deceived

leaving 

the world 

nothing

but the glitter

of stars
