[ True Crime ]

Heart of Babel

Fake my words with an exclamation

Fake my friends with a smiley face

My disguise is an inclination

No one’s ever gonna solve this case

Drop me in a hole of a shallow coffin

Leave me all alone in this vast terrain

Weather just erodes to leave me forgotten

Water down my soul with torrential rains

    Babel, this has such good rhythm to it. It feels almost like a song, though I'm having a hard time placing it with a genre. Great foundation, I'd love to hear more!

    • Heart of Babel

      If I am being honest, it was written in more of a song-like fashion, so I am glad to read that that was something more apparent to you.

      We would probably have to just play it safe and call it “indie” for now!

      Appreciate you taking the time to comment.

      your words, remind me loud and clear
      why it is we deem it essential, to share our experience of life
      with each other,
      otherwise, we'd all be swallowed up early, in that brooding menace
      we keep regressed and tamed,
      that:
      '.. hole of a shallow coffin
      .. all alone in this vast terrain'
      where
      '.. disguise is an inclination'
      (thanks for sharing, dear Poet
      another sobering, yet important read
      in my humble opinion)
