The Invisible Man













He found in himself
    a vast
    untapped source of
Altruism
    an immense capacity for
Understanding
    and a vacuum of
Volition

Locked
    deep in thought
Crushed
    by the weight of burdens
    he had never assumed
    he
Died

    His flesh
Withered
    and stretched taught
    across his
Bones
    A smile formed upon his face
    and turned into a
Leer

    And
Year
    by
Year
    by
Year
     he turned to
Dust
    until he
Disappeared

    the
Invisible
    man
