Fallacy

Fallacy—
Oh fallacy!
Your wings a sweet deformity!
Blasphemy,
Of memory!
Sing the song of empathy!

Cry the discordant song of yore,
Staccato beats forevermore;
Hear the tales; forgotten lore!
Antipathy—an empty drawer!

Destiny—
Oh destiny!
How cruel a fate bequeathed to me!
Villainy!
What mutiny!
What pain from all your cruelty!

A breath for your uncertain fate,
To gasp—then hyperventilate;
O karma I anticipate!
Uncertainty necessitates!

History—
My history!
Oh what a song you sang for me!
Memory!
Remember me!
A requiem of misery!
