Transparent

Transparent
Written - 09/04/00

As he unknowingly walks
Through the clouded days
Of life, love and unhappiness
He knows only the beast within
But knows not what it will do
The man is gone far into animalistic
Tendencies, and he sees transparent.

As he butchers and hunts
Through the winding trees
Of death, willows in despair
He thinks only with beast mode
Apparent immortal breathe
Of life and meaningless unfaithful
Misgivings, and he knows with daring.

As the beast becomes man
Again he seeks what it is
To know true freedom when
Time is an enemy and blood
Becomes the death of living
He serves his deadly sentence
Without, and finds love uncaring.

When the man travels on
Into the fullest prime moonlit night
He sees his shortcomings forgotten
And believes he is forever
But knows the edge of a silver bullet
Would dare to end his triumph
For infinity, only hateful spite it brings.

As the man blazes red eyes and
Gazes upon only the death of his
Adversaries and the like gone
From his worldly vision inside
But he cannot stop the madness
And he cannot stop the pain
Whenever, and gropes for the sharing.

The man searches for light and patience
But instead finds his own brutal
Impatience breeds his killer atmosphere
Into a state of knowing and dreaming
Of a time when coupling and loving
Could ease his unreal sureness
Forever, and bring him the least bit of caring.
