We attempt to seek solace
And satisfaction
In a world driven by greed
Impregnated with the volatile nature of life
We tell ourselves that the only way out
Is to succumb to the ominous shadow—
A shadow that consumes infinitely
Infinitely and critically;
A shadow that lurks above
Beckoning its façade;
Bustling with elation
We pave our own demise in pursuit of inanimatity
In the pursuit of glamor, the exuberance of fortune
But then it's too late,
You're in it's grasp
You drown your sorrows in opulence
But your sorrows learn how to swim
You suspend ever so gracefully,
Lifeless,
The ominous shadow still lurking above
In a world driven by greed.
