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.
