I:520                                 9/21/2016

As the dead wood crumbles

And rots into mud

So also is the lie

Long ago wasted

And soaked in blood.

Strike it through

And strike it down

Smashed and shattered

Into a million pieces.

Long ago expired

And long ago spoiled

The forgotten and debased

And intentionally erased. 

They changed the faces

And they changed the truth

Sinking it all

Underneath the sea.

Busting off the noses

And replacing all the names

The ancient and lost

Hidden, buried and dead. 

And we who have forgotten

Remain now

As we were then

Outnumbered

And hunted. 

Carefully sewn

And beautifully made

The result of eternity

Knit in flesh. 

We shall do what is right

And we shall never give in

Ahead and not behind

Above and not below.

Even without treasure

And any influence to peddle

The truth more than enough

For everything we are.  

Slicing through

And smashing under

All that was false

And fake.

Beware it comes

Sudden and violent

The unexpected blow

Treacherous and cruel.

The worst shall come

But it will pass

Gone in an hour

Like it never happened

At all.
