The darker, the sharper
As you travel
waywardly, unwillingly
along the Via Dolorosa
down the drain of life
and meet with all kinds of adversities,
while only death evades you
with its grim ironic grin
forever mocking life in frozen glee,
you will eventually fall down
and find it difficult to rise again,
while cruel humanity just doesn’t care
and pass you by if they don’t scorn you,
you will find another way to lead you on
but downwards further down the drain,
where you will find a dark alternative reality
of so called hell, a sinister reality of more sincerity
that dares to see things through and face the truth
and speak it out and stand for it; and you will find
that sort of more explicit and direct reality
more practical and real than mundane ignorance
of lies, hypocrisy, delusions and illusions
of the fake society that only lives by escapism.
Not sure if this an ekphrastic piece or not but the title is great and intersting how you take on Christ’s walk with the cross. Best Keith
