Cadaverous climate controlled cave creature

which swash buckling evinced

by Mother Earth makes
civilians mercilessly rocked,

and rolled far only a blink
of eye as ground shakes
if superstitious, one proselytized
that a monster wakes.

Nary a chink of illumination pierces thru

thick cavernous rock solid chamber home

to this crepuscular anchorite,

who spent untold countless chunks of time

holed up deep underground

initially to escape deadly blight,

that afflicted vast swaths of

twenty first century

long fostered civilization,

the post apocalyptic scattered remnants

forced into subterranean redoubts

reliant on stowed away tallow

uber wax to forge poorly guided

niggardly flickering burning candlelight

where quotidian ritual entails doth dight

this Jainist Joplin ascetic, who

already donned the mantle,

sans adjustment to

darkened myopic eyesight

imposing keen aural habituation

to discern, and distinguish any fright
full scurrying, skittering,

slithering, unseen presence

triggering thine nostril to sneeze,

which nasal (gesundheit) claxon

serves to scarify

author who doth ghostwrite
shadowy silhouetted height

giving infinitesimal pause,

thence worry free insight

since my judicious jumbled

juxtaposed metaphorical jacklight
philosophies, viz Jainism, Jesuit,
and Judeo-Christian allows
no cavil, indiscriminate killing,
nor Homo sapien superiority
toward multitudinous life forms instilled
into former existence

as good Samson Knight,

now effectively embedded,

entombed, and interred

within bowels of the Earth
over eons metamorphosed into lignite

millenniums later human
canticle for Leibowitz written
(a big beautiful mess) refrains
from conveying petrifying, mortifying,

and horrifying dystopian future)

softly enunciating such psalms

disappointingly strives to wield might

to eternal night,
whereat those buried alive
unjustly condemned to perdition plight
enduring a slow torturous death - quite
as muffled cries weakly
lament, this haint right
name one reasonable rhyme

trumpeting as supreme sight.
