Only a fool will follow
The wise tend to hasten
The knowledgeable are never hollow
Words can always break you
If you give them power
Sticks and stones breaks bodies blue
Frown and glare as your anger tower
Stomach aches sure hurt
The pain makes you lurch
Sanity demands you to be curt
Spiral stairs you preach, church
Stare into the evening fire
Stare long enough you burn
Stare deep as time is dire
Stare into that voids churn
Eyes open greeting light
Days of opportune they come
Steadfast away from fright
Fear has the crowd succumb
Moths into the flame
Brightness mesmerized to oblivion
For every gloom there are claim
Avoid missing out on bazillion
Headless chickens running around
Tail chasing round and round

In this stanza,I was captivated by the rhymes, "oblivion""bazillion".
Two words of distinctive meaning
I did not really understand the use bazillion in the last line.
Nice write up, great work.
I am influenced by the current crypto price fall.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the explanation.
Welcome.
Although the real test for me in these practice is to see what people interpret them to be when they read them. If it gets more than one interpretation then it's succeeded.
