The Condition of Drowning
--------------------------------------------------
The Condition of Drowning - Maggie May
A mortal tempest to the dying Earth.
My iniquity dilutes the water.
I am stolen from the sands--
A shore of brick and mortar.
All my glory, washed away.
Drowning in my shades of conceit.
Condescension abducts my breath,
Brine entrenched deceit.
My arrogance is a crown of lead,
Weighing me down to the ocean floor.
Release me!
My way is no way, anymore.
