Reality

What was stolen?
Past and future,
Taken in an obscene
Flash of steel.

Half-formedcasualties -
Toysfor the kids.
Fire and water,
Drown and burn.

The grotesques -
Slavering with unfetteredsickness -
Rushing to participate
In the feast.

Frozen tableaux,
Imprints
From a nightmare
Called reality.

No more despair.
The ugly truth is out there
With a will
Of its own.

Fluttering around
Waiting to be found,
Truth my friend
Has a life of its own.
