A Car Crash of Existence

By Virgils Vigil



Camouflaged calamity

 

Perpetrating humanity.

 

Alone in a dark room

 

Jezebel swoons 

 

To a broken face

 

Among the filth

 

and acerbic taste

 

That all too well

 

Captures our backwards race

 

 

 

The killer stands on the hill.

 

He begins to dig through the surface.

 

If he doesn’t fulfill his purpose,

 

lost souls of other shells will.

 

 

 

Transcending blood and bone

 

Whitewashed gallows groan

 

With no pounds of flesh

 

For its crossbeams to call home.

 

 

Cadences of car crashes

 

Resonate through the town.

 

The dolls all scream in horror,

 

Yet no eyes peer around

 

and no ear hears the sound,

 

of the landfill of existence

 

Slowly being filled,

 

as our meaningless tabs

 

are consecutively billed.

 

 

A sense of wrong and right

 

Is essential to deny

 

To convince those who came before us

 

That we’ll willingly comply

 

With our loss of skin

 

We burry our kin

 

In the holes of our mind

 

Delicately refined

 

Ways of accepting

 

There’s nothing to accept

 

The windowpane shatters

 

As we all enter death.
