SOCIOPATH

"Black sheep, cons, misfits, the ones that break all the rules. We are careers criminals, protesters, rebels with a cause. Addiction our religion. Who are we behaving for anyway? "

sunshine bends in vigil

seeking absolution's hell

the steeper edge of steel

balance beam of a trail

the driving wheel

spiked for the kill

a heart in trespass

rigged like a printing press

cut from raw intensity

a Bad seed wild and free

blood of my blood is destiny's tongue

the devil is my kin

swimming in gin

drowning inside to simply be still

sinking deeper into gradual

furious and gently we lose will

angel’s tears fill my quill

shedding the reach of a mind idle

regrettable and suicidal

a ledge’s last chance to dance

this box in need of one last nail

leaving with a tourniquet smile

defined failure

bluffing on a blind

no chance of a winner

A very defiant write!

And i guess the way modern society is leaning ever more to the politically correct left, we need more sociopaths to upset the status quo and balance out the equilibrium.

Daring, rebellious and with some wonderful lines contained within. Well Done.

Mr. Doodly, If you consider the numbers you may live near more sociopaths than you think. My goal here was to make others more aware of what we are not in control of. This arrangement of words is beautiful to me it describes how I feel and how the weight of thought pushes me. Thank you for the Stellar review.

Welcome. And not as many sociopaths as you suggest. The world is being overrun by social justice fanatics of the worst kind.

[TerryDarcy-Ryan akaSheerTerror]

The generation of documentation and information. You would think they would have the rebellious attitude with all that drive of a voyeurism. However there is a strong sense of playing the part and not keeping it real. You can be candid as long as your not honest about it. My grandchildren document everything from sun up to sundown only paying attention to what chimes in on the cell. One needs to experience the ups and downs in life without the camera and worried about your performance.

I agree. The scourge of technology reigns.
