The Arena

Welcome

to the Arena

Where fat men & women

try to buy your body

while fake idols attempt

to take your soul.

Where new generations

try & define themselves

externally

as barbarians & too hip

Not knowing the true nature

of Nihilism, Fatalism, and

the ancient unknown.

Welcome

to the Arena

Where posers play roles.

And obscure holymen, madmen,

true poets and artists hide -

between the shadowed lines

sheltering themselves from

all that is unreal.
