Listen
to the sound of impatient waves
beating upon the rocky shores
within your brain :
insistent, commanding,
not very soothing at all,
a reminder of your sudden rise,
and a slow mocking premonition
-------------------------------------
of failure, oblivion, perdition,
as you, sinecure of all eyes,
await the impending fall.
Persistent, demanding,
envious of gain,
your enemies plan to lock the doors,
and pound you to death :
listen.
