Mere Mortals
Forced pleasures
Cheap treasures
Supplemental elements
Artificial compliments
Hypocrisies
Calamities
Treacheries
Numb Vanities
Blindness
Unkindness
False prophecies
Immodesties
Untruths
Denies
Vague answers
Bold lies
Ignorances flourish
Prejudices nourish
Greed corrupts
Hate abounds
Shame burdens
Guilt surrounds
Deaths' remorse stays the course
Rape and rage unwaiver
Filth and famine plague with force
Evil reigns the flavor

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
