Doomed In Vanity A Poem, R.M. Engelhardt

R.M. ENGELHARDT POET AUTHOR WRITER

DOOMED IN VANITY

The Voices

Storming all
The castle walls
From all directions
Places & homes
With words

Phrases

It’s now all a game

Like chess
Or maybe checkers

Check Mate

Human cadavers
Human wretch &
Apathy

Popularity

Writhing

Across the board

Some?

The gatekeepers
The storms
The lost
& faithful souls

All the believers
And the vultures

Searching
Trolling

Looking for a bite

To eat

All doomed In vanity
They all pray to their
Gods of celebrity

Looking for more followers

Worshippers in
Dark

Follow me
Follow me

Into a lost
Void

Of lost chasm
Of words

Never heard
Never seen
