The Road to the Inevitable
The Road to the Inevitable
.
.
.
Scraping jagged nails along eroded hand rails,
Pure screaming seeps from musically passive tales.
Exhaustively productive, tiringly ingenious,
Life passes by in an addictive blur of the inebrious.
A glow of colour ignites the fireworks of emotion,
Swerving through the intricate passages of commotion.
Slow sighs of devotion plague commited anthems,
Crying laughter to himself, ridding himself of phantoms.
The looming smoke shrouds the deep grey sidewalk,
Shadows of victims trace his outline as he stalks.
The blurs slow, a manifestation of human ingenuity,
Cars speeding, rubber spinning, metals in fluidity.
Dipped headlights breach deep grey eyelashes,
Flickering erratically as feet suffer unnaturally violent thrashes.
The worn cotton of his hood slips gently from his crown,
Tears wipe away, metals amalgamate into an unsure frown.
Wheels swerve into square hexagonal implosions of creation,
A momentary glance from a child's eyes as he embraces irradiation.
Deep blue seas held behind the jelly of his eyes break free,
A spray of pain adds to the seemingly unending blood sea.
Point zero zero one seconds of light, point zero chances of life,
White cleanses the filth of evil before falling into grey-black strife.
Just a simple walk to work at the Nuclear Development station,
Aware of his research's impact, it's instability, uncurable radiation.
Standing in the shadow of Eastern Europe's best kept secret,
Who would've known hell was street lit.
Skin flutters away, hair evaporates, emotions stand firm,
Opinions entrench within the blackened pavement's burm.
Bricks lift away and fall minutes later creating a timeline,
The Road to the Inevitable, or so it's called, the most powerful road sign.
