The Mind of Man
#writcopoemprompt24
Dark is the night,
Darker the soul,
Fathomless depths,
Stories untold...
of a fountain
springing forth goodness,
devious thought,
wrong choices
and temptation.

Dark is the night,
Darker the soul,
bottomless pit,
forbidden to tell...
of hidden conceit
where esteem is lost,
dastard ego is just
and thoughts unkind,
are conceived.

Dark is the night,
Darker the soul,
endless fall from grace,
inside it's core...
conscience is buried
a hidden cave of destruction
where morality,
creeps in to stay
and mischief reigns.

Dark is the night,
Darker the soul,
perpetual loss,
despicable designs...
an ocean of silence
flowing with torments
as scruples arduously
crawls out depraved hole
dugged too deep, it drowns.

Dark is the night,
Darker the soul,
eternal damnation,
begrudgingly hateful...
so sinister the mind
man too fickle to fight
to consider righteousness
though created virteous,
relishes corruption.
