Bismuth Maze [Poet Inspiration – 001]

Plucked from diadem,
That most sacred gem,
Is it but a foolish game?
One so without shame.

Screech! Scream! Cry!
Be loudest until the lie
Becomes embedded in hide
And peace they are denied.

Hellish whispers in May
In times of flourish they’ll pray,
So they may scrape away the rough
And beg freedom from the bismuth.

Do they understand the fright?
From the artificial light?
From the bismuth maze
they did pluck their soul in haze?

Plucked from diadem,
That most sacred gem,
Is it but a foolish game?
One so without shame.
