Inspired by the works of Neil Gaiman’s “The Sandman”
The Parade of Seven
I welcome you to the parade of the eternal
Seven beings that is both fraternal and maternal
In this land that is equally delightful and infernal
In a story that is both a magnum opus and communal
Let us begin with whom we are deeply ill-fated
Whose irresistible kiss we are absolutely infatuated
In the edge of insanity she is always haplessly situated
For Desire is a name not so simple but very complicated
With a sniff of your calming scent you drive us to sleep
Yet your stench poisons our mind so utterly deep
For you are Dream that makes us laugh and weep
Smoking away our burned realities that is ours to keep
Fear is a black raven that spreads your ominous message
For Destruction whose empty soul is relentless and savage
A monster in an armor made of the rotting meat of carnage
Drinking the blood of innocence without prejudice of cause and age
Silence whispers a lullaby into the dirt which I dread and disown
Because its seeds are not wanted and should be absolutely thrown
For Death is a flower that blossoms swiftly were ever naively sown
Scattering like a lethal virus that eats our very own flesh and bone
Futility is a storm that floods overgrown and unkempt mind
While Despair is a pretentious lifeboat which is always close behind
It is a million worms of memories fit together and intertwined
Just like a crushed human brain that is scarred and undermined
Let us not dwell in the vast islands of absence and longing
For Delirium is a shadow that roams and dwells in its belonging
Creeping in our consciousness like the mist coming and going
Showing all forms of visions and spirits not of our own doing
Finally, let us not depend upon our fortune on Destiny our brother
For he does not recognize our dreams and sees it as a bother
But only accepts birth and death as our true father and mother
And stir our hearts and stomachs from one place and into another
