...brackish waters

What reflections could I see
For crystal clear it is never to be
No ripples of the sky blue
The glitter of sapphire, so true
I could see none,
Not the purity, nor the sheen
Nor its free-flowing
Those waters once so clean
 Now caught in the slush
Like tangled thoughts never to brush
It’s the stagnant mind, I see oozing
For more and more-r the insatiable craving
A quagmire to fall into-
Dark, dismal, dreary, a duel ‘tween the two-
To drown the other-
what spews from the ravage
 the stench, the sewage,
what purifies turns putrid-  
The last drop of  humaneness 
Draining into brackish waters
