The most eloquent confession, your silence

The most admitting trait, your turning away

Avert your eyes and hush your struggling thoughts

Detachment assumed as life mutates into decay



The most manifest sign, your disregard

The one apparent fault, your shunning of care

Contempt now bred, refed and well sustained

Division now groomed, nurtured and well maintained

Apathy, opprobrium

Virulence and animosity

This sums you up

Betrayal, disunion and fear, isolation



Caught in this endless spiral, locked equilibrium

A stasis founded in this atrophy of thought

Your eyes unflinching, unaffected by the misery

Gone is commiseration, gone is any sympathy



One last farewell to perspicacity

Final surrender to futility

Dissociation, severance

What have you done?

What have you become?
