Abyss of Our World


Silence They say not wavers in sorrow Intriging honor once stored by doubt The height at which we soar Is not enough to bear witness For the murder of us The blood of our enemies is Not enough to satisfy Not enough to justify What has happened here today So we excuse those guilty And convict those innocent To fornevermore return the surface To bathe in the indignity that is this life This world This...this Abyss
