parched cistern

the evil that we do begins
when once we set aside,
affection for our dearest friends,
our hearts reigned by pride

pursuing my own ends
grabbing for my own prize
the boundaries of love I bend
with the foolishness of lies

grave danger waits hidden there
among the desert rocks
where I reckless run without a care
for refusals, nays, and locks

forward stumbling into a fall
plummet into the deep dry well
and ignoring wisdom's call
open the gates of hell
