Timeless Corruption (Found Poem)

You know what you need, but don't care about others,
Forgetting that we are all sisters and brothers.
Your words always feel rather bracing and tonic,
But you have no sense of foreknowing the ironic.
Your thoughts are unleashed like the stock of a whip,
From the glass of foul power, you savor each sip.
You continue to think that your strength is their will,
But your greedy desires you can never fulfill.
When you sell your soul to the devil, you lose track of time,
Consumed with inheriting the fruit of your crime.
There will come a day when you wish to make right,
But you'll find that your soul is as dark as the night.
