Malignant

In this jungle of unearthly elements,
Where death of a child remains unknown to its mother,
where shadows are cannibalised by lights
and the beaker of trust has naught but urine...

A solitary being shuffles about,
Away from the light and their medusan stare,
Away from the lights and the epidemic they spread.
Man woman and child unborn,
Crave for a shaft of vision, for a shot of life,
for a high which shall be their low,
for a feeling of entirety, which shall be a void,
for this moment of of falsehood,
they may kiss the Satan's hand,
hack all their friends and families,
give birth to the scavengers of this land.

but he who walks alone, knows...
knows that the disease is malignant,
knows that ere long the black breath shall overwhelm his candle,
a wisp of smoke, a little voice is all that he will be survived by,
and the story of a pristine world shall remain untold...

Well, well, here is something highly rhetoric and symbolic, but it is my catharsis... can't explain now, short of time. Well unearthly elements are stainless magnesium steel alloys and all that doesn't occur naturally, which are used to build our homes and the world around us. Lights are the so called "stars" and celebrities (whom i consider totally worthless and certainly undeserved of the hype that they get, again it's just my point of view, so Marcus,please ...peace!!!) All the people out there crave for their "moment in the sun, their chance to be the "one", no matter what they have to sacrifice, friend, families a normal human life.And the rest i guess u can make out!!!Just that is the reason why i don't see many people valuing the finer aspects of life... that's sooo sad.

At last, here's someone who can really use symbols ! It's quite powerful, especially the last few lines...But I confess that I wouldn't have understood a word if it weren't for your explanation. I find this true of poetry in general and modern poems in particular.
