transcendence lost

Where mental fortitude begins so appeases anguish  Deftly eluding the hands of withered cynics  You breathe in us the teaseing of an esoteric nature.  Misanthropic convolution whispers what we wish we were not but so fully are.  You told us that truth would never evade us.  The people live their lives in black-light ecstasy.  fate forever calls he who stands alone to be the sacrificial redeemer  struggling to find a path in vain  Yet an unbound mind overcomes the fiercest rain  Life's sadness relents and thankfully so.  But a flurry of penitence breaks our resolve.  Down come those wave battered walls  Abundant seas of an arcane knowledge begin to boil away.  Days wracked with the degradation of a mind submerged  Nights plagued by unspeakable horror and fitful sleep  Incurring the death of solipsistic surety  Subjective thoughts pervade the world at large.  Bigotry and intolerance cast a darkened veil of deception.  Humanity's hopes of a transcendent future fade into oblivion  Is that black-massed world the final frontier?  Frozen nothingness envelops wholly as is the fate of all known existence
