Tribute To A Life Long Past
vii: Glassen Prose
By Mina Ellyse Warren
May 28, 1990

Deciever, I decry, dictator of delusions,
Masterful mind behind maelstroms of magnanimity.
Hearken to the hoary cries of the holocaust,
Qualify the quiescence, greet quietus with open arms.

Guiding light, once so bright, now it's dulled to nothingness.
Taken away, frail yesterday, now I stand all alone.
No, never shall I bow to you, in solemn vows I break the spirits that bind,
I'll not stay in tranquil realms of your device, I will be free.

Sensing mesmeration, drifting into sleep I'm led.
Endless machinations, the gears work my flesh, I am torn apart.
Senseless inspiration, guiding my every step.
Ending visitations, facts I seek kept out of reach, I am torn apart.

Divine pretensiousness, cold undying, expressionless.
Defamation reprehensible, accusations of vindications.
Innocent compunction, impudent, remorseless.
Abstinence of temperance, atonement for faithlessness.

Withered to the eye, you stand among men then you die.
Blasphemies you speak, fall to your knees and prey on the weak.
Crying to the stars, they'll not answer you my friend.
Dreaming of the end, it will come soon.

Delerium, dementia, delicate degenerate.
Perspicacious, penetrating, passage to permanence.
Pious profanity, blasphemous believer.
Nimble navigation, numbness to nonconformity.

As you live, as you grow, you see your life expand.
As you live, as you grow, you taste the sweetness of life.
As you live so you die, as you grow so you wither,
Live to die, die to live, it's all the same in the end.

Memories linked to yesterdays memorialize the artificial,
Rationality of eccentricity, enthusiastically embracing superficial.

Ascendancy, mastery, to the victor go the spoils.
Triumphant advantage, victorious, unbeaten.
Exultation, jubilation, burst of laughter.
Elation congratulation, I'll live on another day.
