On the ends of good and evil


Take my hand as I write 

Whisper in my ears the secrets 

As I open my eyes 

You can see the emptiness from my soul

Shadows hovering over me

No longer I but for you 

All of you 

Selfless to the world 

Hell envies him 

Yet heavens tear don’t fall 

Questioned from birth 

Lost and afraid 

What he knows best is what I was taught 

To kill and salvage from others 

As blood drips from his heart 

He feels the water flowing from his face

Confused he reaches;

Heavens tears pour down his face

A grin in his face he smiles in his final moments 

He mutters a few words

“De finibus bonorum et malorum”

Then fades away from this world
