RAPE

I was a careless man;

Trying to create a flash in the pan.

unperceptive,

Wreaking havoc and strife

At the expense of a life.

Curing my own desires through vicarious and deliberate circumstance,

I sought to circumvent the system.

To deny the process of wisdom is to deny wisdom in total.

Through it all I have raped the willing;

Abusing my hold and my grasp.

Trapping possibilities and forcing them into Pandora’s box,

To be unleashed to be set free another day.

Blind to seeing exactly what’s in front of me,

Denying you for my sake.
