Opinions denied
The father long gone
Just selfish children
Slow poison
Thinking
An arduous activity
Salvation in our vices
Future for other children to decide
Children command children
Wisdom is for owls
Knowledge trapped in books
Forget the past
Forsake the future
Feel only the present
Failure
Forget these lies
We cannot be stopped
Delusions of grandeur
Delude only ourselves
The past
Mirrored by the present
To watch it die
Drown with your possessions
Nothing left sacred
When love left forgotten
Things do not fit
Where your soul should be
Swallow your savior
Numbness on the horizon
We failed our fathers
Ourselves
Our children
Yet there is no remorse
Let it fail
The shattered
Lie broken still
Slowly bleeding out
Cut the arteries
Save us
With a quicker death
Plodding forward
Eyes to the sky
Hope at such great height
As you sink into the ground
Foolishness is not it’s own punishment
These wrongs will be righted
By the will of god
Or the actions of man
Paradox
