The Slothful
By RubyXero
Perched upon my Mountain
of Agony
my Queen of Filth struggles.
Upon retaining control and ultimate power
through a sewage of words,
solely.
And somehow we, the subjects,
still fear
and retreat,
obedient to the recoiled hand.
stuck...that
never will strike.
Really.........
Bowing and honoring,
the one who hides.
Whose being plagues the earth
spreading
and staining
like an oil dump,
Idle hands that steadily sink
lower and lower
into
nothingness.
Eventually,
that stain in the
dirt will disappear, and then
what shall
be left of you?
-An occasional cringe of memory?
-A saddened
lower gaze of pity?
You!
SLOTH!!
Wallowing in your
decay.
Your
crown of fake stones
will not last forever.
Already the
dullness of your feined reality is
darkening the bright facade.
That illusion will not withstand this fury.
No longer will
you rule this life!

How many times?
I
one of many.........
But I cannot.
WILL NOT swim in your shit anymore.
The
rest will silence their opinions;
will kiss you with their smiles
and conversation.
Yet your piercing gaze is upon me!
The free
spirit.
The one pulling away.
Wielding your power by weakness
of a soft heart.
The artifice of my ruin.
I have
claimed defiance
time and time
through my escape;
my
words.
But my roots have now dug deeper
entwined with his spine
striving to reach deity.
And as often as I have claimed clarity,
NOW. I feel this gateway
finally ridding itself of
the
always lingering fog.
Oh queen!
You tiny, pitiless soul!
void
such a blank void
Through
so many years....
you now have EARNED your place
and your title:

Brilliant! Each line felt more powerful than the one before. And as I read the words seem to get louder and more violent! Brutal truth with personal random rays of hope...

this was a battle cry to me... I thought I heard artillery as I read.... time to wage against the slovenly.... to rise against the mundane... the banality and trite distractions that perpetuate this crime against what humanity could be..... nice write... full of fire and fuel.
