Conscience Bereaved



This kaleidoscope of randomness impresses more 
than it damns - but it still outspans in a paddock of 
sheep for the slaughter; that innocence expressed 
by your charismatic dance to the wolves belies for 
whom the Bell tolls, there is no ‘roll of honour’ and
in this age of compromised innocence, a certainty 
suggests we’re to blame by wearing the hood of a 
conscience bereaved over the face of our naivety 

We’ve ploughed this field in a poverty of reason, it 
won’t matter which sobriquets are planted here, or 
whether we tend them with good grace - glistening 
epithets are swearwords embracing those random 
effects of the way we became disenchanted, tho it 
won’t give a damn - no matter whose ego’s pay
