Decadence

An intense poem that addresses social issues, by Dr. Molly, exclusively for Different Truths.

A centre
       that cannot hold
dissipates..
          desperate
it devours
          the peripheries
on facades
           of gathering…
 
the best
          lack conviction,
courage…
 
silence
       their strategy
the time old
             evasive
escapists!
 
caught up
         in the rut
the average
           struggle
to survive...
 
who cares!
 
lust for
          power
self
          rules
the roost!
 
decadence..
 
white
            ants
eating
           away
the wooden 
  panellings...
