POETIC INSIGHT -005

‘NEATH

UNDERNEATH THIS SKIN OF CLAY;

UNDERNEATH THESE SMILES SO UNTRUE,

A HEART IN GLOOM.

A SOUL IMPRISONED BY MORALITY.

LOCKED UP BY THE NORMS OF CHRISTIANITY,

GRADUALLY LEADING TOWARDS INSANITY.

MAROONED WITH THOUGHTS OF HEAVEN,

 ATTRACTED BY THE WAYS OF HELL. 

UNDERNEATH THIS PRETENCIOUS SELF;

A SOUL SCREAMING OUT FOR HELP,

CRAVING FOR A NEW AND BETTER STORY.

TIRED OF THE OLD AND ALL ITS VANITY. 

UNDERNEATH THIS FLAMBOUYANT SHOW;

A SOUL IN COMPLETE DISARRAY.

IN SCREAMS OF FRUSTRATION;

IN SEARCH OF DIVINE INSPIRATION,

YEARNINGS FOR REDEMPTION PORTRAYED. 

UNDERNEATH THIS SLY LAUGHTER;

ECHOES OF PAIN AND INTENSE ANGER,

A BATTLE ENSHROUDS;

THE OBVIOUS BATTLE OF GOOD AND EVIL.

ENSHROUDS

UNDERNEATH THIS SKIN OF CLAY.
