caskets
Life moves,
Passes in unbelief,
With too many words
And not enough action.
Too many people…
Way too many people.
They’re all full of lies,
The insects crawling under their skin
Somehow forced them
To speak an inevitable lie
That for some reason we believe.
Cultures ruined
Men all at war
With no one
But the ones they hate
The ones that are themselves.
Prisons are filled
With the hopeless,
Relentless souls
That feed off the hate they receive.
And here we are
Living a life
That we hate
For the sake of others
To live theirs completely.
So, take this
And keep it close,
You’ll need it.
