"ego-antichrist"

insolence browses
bulemic grasses of conceit
grown to gorge
the bovine beast
of self-importance
  
chewing blades of bitterness
swallowing
the narcotic chlorophyll
of arrogance
squeezed
from envious greens

harvesting troglodyte seals
from their cyberian portals

widow nurtured weeds
in the manured corners
of respondent corrals
where the sewage
of ignorance
seeps into polluted wells
of bliss

communal drinkers
of commiseration
covetously swilling
the nascent effervescence
of his hydrochloric leach

an ego-antichrist
bearing a cross
of himself
dispersing narcissistic dogma
via mind-vomited grace

I liked this poetry. How you use the functions of the tree. If I may make one suggestions, do not use big words. Keep it simple and your message with still be heard.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Hey thanks, Javier.

I did not need a dictionary
which can only mean
I understood every word
and appreciate the images you share

"the bovine beast
of self-importance"

in the beginning, I knew it was cool

"dispersing narcisstic dogma"

and in the wnd, it was cooler.
