The Forum 2003

Here is another poem I wrote in high school. And there’s a good chance that high school was exactly what I was writing about.

When every word reeks of inanity
And every phrase
An endless haze
You're in the forum of insanity

When every wish is a calamity
And every thought
The jester wrought
You're in the forum of insanity

"I must be free from this immanity!"
A hopeful scream
Lost in the dream
That is the forum of insanity

There's nothing left of your humanity
You lie destroyed
Amidst a void
Filled by the forum of insanity
