The Flames of Shame

The flames of shame
kindled by authorities of love
containing distorted integrity
ashes of nothing remains
Bewildered by the guidance
stumbles through life
in overwhelming chaos
the inner me erodes
The fear becomes your friend
the fear becomes your enemy
love is tangled with evil
life becomes an obstacle course
Swaying, unsteady course
becomes his way of life
driven by fear and chaos
he becomes a man
