And how many empty pages have you filled
after fifty years?
enough to last ten lifetimes for some
but will it ever be sufficient for you?

Or like a vampire
you still hunger for more...more...more!
feeding off the energy
that permeates all around
till it becomes painful
and you must withdraw your fangs
and the fever in your veins...DNA
rises again...again!

As it was 50 years ago
so it is today
the circle only finished
once it’s begun
childhood fears still traded
for the monsters of adulthood
bled upon an empty page
