Malaria breath mosquito death asA
once again I wait to live I wantedB
to embrace the jungles secrets yetC
thought not about the price I mightD
have to giveE
-
The fever I possess like theF
sweltering stench of heat that abatesG
me slurs my senses and intoxicates meH
with horrific hallucinationsI
-
I set out in search of primitiveE
answers to life's universal questionsI
of the living soul yet only now thatJ
this tragedy has kept me from lookingK
do I have a clarified and cleansedL
view of what has evaded and eluded meH
for the longest timeM
-
Only now do I think I knowN
-
Only once our eyes are unclosed willO
we dream without illusion SinisterP
sleep tells us only what we wish to knowN
which is all too often false favoritismQ
in the realm of logic the knowledge isR
born out of delusionS
-
Yet unravelling both the known and unknownT
then piecing them together as one discipline isR
what's even more complex and confusingK
-
I have found all in the midst of nothing just asA
minutes away from Death's breath have taught meH
nowU
-
I gasp a sigh of relief Peace at last I knowN
EVERYTHINGK
-
My life that was once filled with lies andV
confusion has passedW
