Self Awareness Departed Some Time Ago

self awareness departed some time ago
after a period,
where, rationale, sense,
and even self awareness,
rubbed along just fine,
eventually life became careless,
and the three could no longer combine.

so,
after a period,
in which a number of graves were dug
self awareness died from unspecified causes
where upon, it was placed,
in one of graves,
freshly dug,
the grave must have had some depth,
for no one even heard the thud.

arrogance moved in,
promising,
that is alone could control self doubt,
who itself had already murdered,
rationale and sense,
although it claimed it had an alibi,
it’s alibi was in fact shaky
and on examination, it looked twisted and bent,
self awareness departed some time ago
