Prophet

I wandered for 40 days in the dunes
And rock-strewn valleys trying to learn
The meaning of things, attempting to
Get closer to the gods, perhaps to earn
A vision, spurred by heat, thirst, emptiness,
To fill the void, the bottomless yearn
Inside my bored, random soul, cursed by
Cosseted comfort ... failure to discern.

And what did I find?
Enough to drive me out
Of my fucking mind.
