The Pleasure Principle

Contributed by jyssvw22 on Monday, 25th April 2005 @ 11:10:16 AM in AEST
Topic: oops



Now approaches the prisoner of yesterday
Beaten and hungry, his torment revealed
Dragging besides him the warden of his hole
A souvenir for tomorrow’s conscious world

Segregated brutality in a solitary crime
Emancipated obscurities, found in time
Controlled and dismantled passion
His misery entangled in obsession

A prompt resolution delineated
Nullified conclusions permeated
A filtered vernacular protected
Freedom of words dejected

The prescription for eternity stolen
Stowed away in a secret vile
A cure for the uncommon psychosis
A neurotic scheme was the diagnosis

The pleasure principle overcame
The superego stood to blame
An Id rendered instinctual
His indecisive ego perennial

A bond no God could tear
Fond of his depressing despair
Head held high in contempt
Unkempt soul left not to care, so he dreamt

So tragic! Oh my.....what a sad, lonely write...Emotions, it would seem that were expressed too late...
