the crude venom of the past 
the drinking, gambling, brawling, whoring.
Effective,yet so blunt. 
Defective, through lacking control 
wherefore the blinded palace raises to unleash 
new intoxication upon (the) squalid huts. 
A new venomous presence 
tightening it's grip by losing inherent harshness: 
prevent dreaded revolution! 
Tame the will that opposes thourgh the mind*
Disperse strange noumenon! 
Numb any mind that dares to think!
the same old grey 
dawn breaks while a finer venom brews by old recipe: 
deceit, guilt, 
innocent death 
refined with forged meaning, 
embedded in a strange reading 
not to be decoded by the clueless whom conceit is to be 
gifted for aeons to come
gently alter the state of mind, 
a more tranquil conduct evoked
preserve the corporeal form, 
procuring chores once despised
with a new found smile 
born out of a torpid mind
benighted by promises 
offered in this finer venom
dire apparitions of vital remains flickering before the 
inner eye: to herd the mindless flock
promises and guidelines for a better life in the 
hopeful beyond: to enthrall the mindless flock
A new venomous presence 
arbitrariness and ambiguity 
as a rule intent on rendering hommage
impossible any resistance: 
free-will is dissmissed to chain the mindless flock
meaning and matter conjured 
onto this mortal coil, acting as the desiderata sense: 
impossible any resistance: 
free-will is dissmissed to enslave the mindless flock
