Ignoble Things
By Ld Marduk
The longing for ignoble things,That as a hunger…grow,Art what giveth rise,To the damning of my soul—For damned it is and damned it be,For…alas…eternally,I have had…but one desire,And such was what condemned me—Yea such desire…twas my undoing,For twas nought…but trouble brewing,Yet such…I did not see—For twas beauty…caught my eye,And though I cannot say but why,It truly did…possess me--Yet, twas not just…a passing fancy,But a hunger so endemic,It but drove me to a longing,For ignoble things.
