structureless city goes and collapses on itself

structureless city goes and collapses on itself

A Poem by Mr Marathon
"

A city is described. It is a being with that is infested with terrible things going around.

"

 

from the city there arises a sickness, a spitefulness that leaves us demented
from the trenches a stream of frail scarecrows abound

surmounting an unseen hand

despite the autonomous reign they pound fists on dirt
despite the lethal charges, the fight, the walls opposing resistance

and the deepness from forearm’s blood swells

scarecrows digging for precious missing greenery, become monotonous
digging for hunger, they hold their bile in their throats

the mire bellows with overgrown children
underneath the culture, the beast breathes and eats salivating from the taste of fickleness

openness is thrown up to the sky of treacherous vultures, circling the debt
above the gray clouds there is an unknown light, goes unnoticed

the city immerses
indulges itself

a metronome ticks with shame

the beast is craving the deliciousness of the canvass covered in meek flesh
his tongue is quivering, aching for the taste of their massive influence

behind the towers a vanilla red sky is bold
the earth, quakes and smashes like pancakes

meshing the triumph with the misery
senselessness covers itself in the superfluous language
awkward, meaningless, without structure or form

no longer is it simple
no longer is its complexities deconstructed to simplicity

it is only a city of dreams that fill the void

Mr Marathon
Is it too many words? Too abstract? Vague?
