Running With the Beast

by Chris Cox - Aquarius - Not entered


running with the beast


mindless, running with the beast,
bowels empty, flames flicker, higher,
cries, the beast, earth to wind,
breath to water, eye of fading fetters,

the walls crumble, manipulation, now,
reason decline, thought collapse,
in no doubt, beyond, human, no more,
mindless, running with the beast.

Reason for writing:

    This poem was inspired by the raw emotions that often take hold of us, mocking who we are and eventually animalizing our sense of reason.
