Outcast

Please don't go there
Into that world of romantic illusion.
For there be demons there
Voracious, remorseless.
And there is I
An ignoble beast.
Abominations sit well with me.
My tainted honour cloaked in robes of varied hue.
Masks endless in array.
Economy of truth my shield.
And of course my sword,
Glinting the glint of retribution
On darkest moonless nights
As I strive to sever the umbilical cord
Of the random loveless seed.
Brendan.
