Obscured in a position of servitude
Maintain the well-being of those upon they wish
demise
Living amongst a population to which they
succumb with personalities miscued
Their own worst enemy under prying eyes
Professional apathy of enemies to themselves
makes a cultural nemesis for their brothers
Restrained from their performance and blamed
for failing the wise
Severed link between mountain and abyss
straining to hold their link
Draining substances into their pores, estranged
families, and self extirpation
Vermin ascend the mountain; the guards stare
into the abyss they sink
