Speaker:a poem by Akronia
Speaker:Interstellar dimensions
Speaker:cross linked into a parallax
Speaker:Swift chambers slump into an ill-fated oblivion

Speaker:cornered and tortured
Speaker:It all comes together,
Speaker:In an exhalated thrall
Speaker:A split, gashed alien
Speaker:was once native here
Speaker:Its land was claimed and saw his deportation
Speaker:Uncaring hermits stared pale and numb
Speaker:An Ingenious plan to divorce his very soul,
Speaker:they exclaimed What was left of the soul of the widowed
Speaker:you may ask? A world with so many parts integrated, yet so divided
Speaker:Refused into absolution with no rhyme or purpose
Speaker:Yet only those deemed useful can accompany me into my plan.
Speaker:My reality has failed me,
Speaker:so I will look unto another one
Speaker:An escape that never saw the light of day
Speaker:Your reality has succeeded in destroying my own
Speaker:It was a just cause in your eyes,
Speaker:but a bittersweet curse for myself.
Speaker:This land is of a toxic nature,
Speaker:it splits the delusions
Speaker:Its racing phases an omen to Io,
Speaker:impregnated with madness it seems
Speaker:Yet this is the path that I alone just walk upon
Speaker:It is this land that opens mercilessly
Speaker:onto my parallel frame.
Speaker:This was “A Failed Reality”
