Simoun the Despiser

|

A lamp full of Nitroglycerin
dark glasses shining with madness
despair and loathing
was all Simoun felt
the two emotions killed
Crisostomo Ibarra
just as they killed
Maria Clara

Madness and a river full of crocodiles
Swimming for life
with bullets zinging in your ears
and water clogging up your nose

Plotting and scheming
conspiracies and murder
a massacre in the making
A despiser's glee

Maria! Maria!
Crisostomo thought he cried
Revenge! Revenge!
was the answer of despite
hope was crushed
and ideals were broken
when Simoun shot Ibarra
with false logic
and self deception
