Dis Aliter Visum


Dis aliter visum Everyone claims to understand why. As in why we, mankind, exist Telling our stories of honor and glory How the fires of hell cannot overcome us not we the human race. Among our people not one soul speaks the truth Not one soul accepts their future Denial caused by fear fear of the inescapable end. Arguiong with our selves Counting the days until our last stand Consoling the ones who don't see the beauty Explaining that the end must come so each of us so our species flourishes Parasidical notions that immortality could belong to humans Truthfully it cannot, not in this world Angered by our our own limitations we suffer Not seeing that death is not our enemy Enraged at the one thing that makes us strive strive to keep the human race alive.
