Agonized screams thunder below.
Each pair of hands claw desperately,
Shredding whatever they can reach.
Determined to rescue the drowning;
I sought to end their hopeless howling.
A ladder built of my own home
Shattered beneath dead weight of some.
Then every soul who clutched my ropeFashioned a noose for their own throat.
Despair brewed by futility
Infect my wounds with entropy.
I dive into the sea of strife
No magnanimous sacrifice.
My own heartbeat a hollow memory,
I hear death approach behind me
