Nihilist

Poesy plus Polemics

“Nihilism Inside”
Painting by Sabrin Mahran
From deviantart.com

the poet must bear at least one
piercing splinter of ice in his heart

he must put painful pen to the paper
without reservations of conscience

observe with objective dispassion
grim features of human proclivity

render them brutally colored
by truth in its ugliest spectrum

else poetry puffs with a pander
to boast overweening with bloat

false idolatry singing man’s praise
only real in the realm of the mind
