Pulling at Threads

Rampant hubris spreads Through empires built on fallacy Echoes conceit of the living and the dead Propagates the seeds of corroding deceit Eyes in the skies Poisoned wires run Lies pulling at threads Till they come undone Civilization unravels itself Denies the demise Which from avarice comes Dies - still pulling at its threads Breaking them one by one In saturnine gluttony, the monster feeds Cannibalizing on itself Until there's nothing left Even titans fall To the spells of Uranos Those slightest ploys At the heart of the avalanche Concealed from narcissist dementia The bane of giants hides in the small Horizons hypnotising, paralysing Gargantuan puppets To be destroyed From within By their minuscule masters Patiently watching corruption Run its course Scared and ensnared in their nightmare Souls slowly drain, blind and unaware Stained with disdain, devout in hatred Vain, inane, bloated and insane Confident Cocky Lazy Dead
