RESCUE - Blogtober 2020

Rescue

Allah rescue me the dark night descends

Melancholy tears my black soul to shreds

Pain anguish sorrow misery transcends

The lugubrious world fills me with dread

Low-spirited my energy is zapped

My thoughts turn fatal my head in a fog

Laying in bed like a prisoner trapped

Caught bit in the ass by the big black dog

Hope for remedy in a little pill

I'd give anything for absolution

Overtaken beat down against my will

I turned to the arts for a solution

The masses gather Springsteen counts to three

Live music would finally set me free

--Shenandoah Lynd

(a Shakespearean sonnet)
