How long
Can it go on
As we wait for nothing
Shrinking, falling
And slowly dissolving.
Tethered to time
And weighed by gravity
Prisoners on a planet
Confined and alone.
Worn down
And haggard
We give in
And we give up.
Drowning ourselves
Just to forget
All that we had
And all that we lost.
All for a hoax
And all for a lie
The difference between
Contentment and despair.
But if we must
It’s better to die living
Standing on two feet
Instead of crawling
On four.
Because many are fools
And many are dumb
Led by the nose
Since the age of five.
Bread to lie down
And conditioned to obey
Undefended
And unloved.
The ghosts
And the vampires
Sleep on the moon
Hidden on the dark side
Cold and remote.
They wait also
To fly in the shadows
Swooping down
With dripping mouths.
Bright red
And deepest purple
The lost memories
Circling our heads.
Always present
And forever haunting
The irretrievable loss
Sudden and sharp.
Stolen, wasted
Dumb and deaf
One dimensional images
Lost to time.
Given for a moment
And then erased away
The glimpse of beauty
Captured in amber.
Let it all unravel
And let it all blow away
The incalculable loss
Of centuries of love.
Spread it out
Across the gulags
Where dreams go to die
Built by acquiescence
And preserved with neglect.
The dying began
And now it snowballs
Just like they wanted
Hopeless and discouraged.
Sold out, betrayed
And mocked at will
They laugh as they kill us
You, him, and me.
It was written
And now it is done
As the few grow fewer
And blood runs thick.
The powerful
Want sheep
And the hateful
Want death.
The elect chased down
And hunted for sport
Betrayed by their fathers
And murdered by the sons.
Some will perish
But some will survive
All joined together
At the perfect
Place and time.
