Reminiscence

The Common Area 
Alas when warmth has left the home 
all those shadows cast by souls afire 
shall guide stray lives while they roam 
on spirit journies that demons inquire 
Ore the frigid earth fixed on pages 
cultivated heroes of song that have wasted 
the modern world infects his mind for wages 
never knowing untilthat sweet success is tasted 
and when he works he strives to overcome 
a handicap createdby his strange mind 
reviewedby his eyes are tasks sodumb 
and most unclean a spirit he will find 
Voracious quarrels mock the mockery of life 
infused with madness through modern strife
