An Ode for peacebringer45

Sweet Sirens’ song, depart, depart!
Your call has lured me too long,
locked me in its hard embrace,
and stripped my mind of meaning.
iHub's charts and graphs shouted
vapid encouragement, empty promises

of gains never seen. The real promise
is of destruction. I will and must depart
from former patterns, lies and shouts
of self-absorption, self-denial, long-
held thoughts about the meaning
of my actions. Eagerly I embraced

half-truths and full lies, and they embraced
my friends and family with promises
that would not be kept. Their meaning
stayed unclear to them. The truth departed
from my mind, which has found fake solace long
enough in spitting money. Shouting

at my self, for damages incurred, the shout
will not be quieted. But I must embrace
my other self, the one that does not long
to gamble, does not lie, does not promise
things it cannot keep. I won’t depart
from this better path. I will find meaning

where before, I found just husks of meaning.
I know now, that my internal shout,
once an empty vessel that would depart
from its appointed target before it could embrace
the truth, must know keep its promise.
