Mind Of A Failure

A deserted pathway, pauperised by perennial parroting-
throughout neurons,
expressions of jaundiced lamentation
constrained the congregation of chronic buoyancy
frantic fortification materialised-
throughout neurons,
as the demoralisation, of
past achievements and successes; disperse
whilst the opulent quota of cynical sorrow
treaded its way down to cerebral cortex.
The barricades around the 1%, were closing in
An engagement between a melancholy or blithe mind was inevitable
A deserted pathway, pauperised by buoyant avocation-
Throughout neurons…
A deserted pathway, pauperised by detrimental memories-
Throughout neurons…
Only one can prevail
