O Hark, for now the ominous autumn has done itself away,
Unflinching, the winter of my malcontent approaches
Bedecked as unadulterated filth and swollen bellies
Debauchery so utter that it repels even the roaches
O Hark, for I did not see it slither hither, fat and gluttonous,
A deluge of hedonistic making, nightmarish and reviling
Rooms filled with damsel's in a distress of their own making
Depravity so rife that it verges upon beguiling
O Hark, for we sit amongst a muck so cancerous,
It may just devour us, each and every soul completely whole
A night so swallowing that it might never end
Decadence so pervasive that it gnaws a bottomless hole
And In what world should I be free?
Is there a land under this sun clean of this scum?
And what scum is that?
It is the unfettered and haunting one that sits within us
Nuns would call it sin, but it is more than a deed
It sits so deeply rooted in you and I
And in I, I find only disgust at you
You my kin, representative of my epoch
Numerous more than the pillars of virtuousness
A flood of madness that drowns the few patches of lucidity
I sit now in the cesspit of my brothers and sisters,
And already are my heirs corrupted
The younger they go
The deeper they fall
The longer the night
The more depraved the soul
O brave new world,
What new dawn is this?
O Harken now, sons old and bold to a tale most cold
Undeniably is the smut upon you, in you and around you
You are in its' maelstrom and it festers on your avarice
Sloth against your redemption so complete that none can save you
O Harken now, daughters craving and yearning, but without a single earning
Indubitably is this lust in you, your suitor and your violator
You are in the throes of ecstasy and its grip is around your delicate gullet
Wroth wrought against you, but there is no saviour from your raper
O Harken now, children of tomorrow
Prove me wrong and differ from the curse that will surely follow your descendant
Annihilate the incessant hunger that begs satiating but is never fulfilled
Destroy that most carnal thirst and seek to atone for it, and become ascendant
O Brave New world
What Pure Uncut night is this?
What adulterated, uncensored, unsupervised degeneracy is this?
And will my children defeat it?

Pure Uncut Night
PoetryInspired clearly by the Huxley classic, Brave New World, this is an expression of my distaste with the world far less comically than Huxley and with bitterness indelible.
