March Madness - 'Vanquished'

(download)

The audio is one of Chuck Berglund's versions of this poem - my vocals.

 

Vanquished

 

I have fallen

into an abyss

thoughtless void

blank, spiritless vacuum


I have fallen

into a black pit

heartless hole

dismal, wretched cavern

 

I find myself

on the edges of

piteous

putrid insanity

 

I find myself

in the center of

fractured, crushed

austere nonexistence

 

And there is

no deliverance

exit nor

light of liberation


And there is

only my wailing

in the dark

alone and forsaken

 

This is my reality!
