Hearts of Men


Pain resides in the hearts of men.
Like water in a coconut shell
Bitterness is gone deep-rooting
Self-appointed denizen of the inner dwelling.
Madness beget madmen
Indifference has made all a poor specimen.
It’s the wake of corruption,
Evil’s a looming mountain shading the constellation.
Blinded by apathy
Men yield their hearts to captivity.
Living behind a mask that conceals their yielding
To disease that torment the human soul
Impossible to console.
