for the Unbroken

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️

 

O Dionysus, breaker of chains,  
I sing not for the meek, the tamed, the gelded—  
But for the wolves who howl against the night,  
Who tear the velvet lies from rotting thrones!  

The poets now are eunuchs, lisping hymns  
To hollow gods of equity and dust—  
But we, the few, drink deep the blood-red wine,  
And laugh as cowards beg for kinder chains!

      So classical in its approach and form this poem caught me up in drunken reveries. The intoxication breaking the chains of sanity in a world insane taking one to a world of lunacy far better and happier where beauty can be seen. Far better to drink the blood red wine than the blood or the innocents. Where is the madness? A beautiful write deep with wisdom and humanity a fave
