Beaten and hungry, his torment revealed
Dragging besides him the warden of his hole
A souvenir for tomorrow’s conscious world

Segregated brutality in a solitary crime
Emancipated obscurities, found in time
Controlled and dismantled passion
His misery entangled in obsession

A prompt resolution delineated
Nullified conclusions permeated
A filtered vernacular protected
Freedom of words dejected

The prescription for eternity stolen
Stowed away in a secret vile
A cure for the uncommon psychosis
A neurotic scheme was the diagnosis

The pleasure principle overcame
The superego stood to blame
An Id rendered instinctual
His indecisive ego perennial

A bond no God could tear
Fond of his depressing despair
Head held high in contempt
Unkempt soul left not to care, so he dreamt

The Pleasure Principle

Beaten and hungry, his torment revealed

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
