Shattered Innocence
I’m in pain,
from the start.
It’s insane,
how souls part.
Countless times explained,
why I would never depart.
But here we are again, further apart.
A call to action,
my call to think, and sanction.
A word of caution,
the world’s evil is split into factions:
Violence, theft, arson, rape, and manipulation.
Blackmail, murder, kidnapping, abuse, blame, and extortion.
Wrath, Greed, Envy, Lust, Sloth, Gluttony, and Pride.
I take the world’s evil and carry it on my shoulders,
I take it with a pinch of salt and a skip to my stride.
An eternity of wrongdoing, not right.
Eternity’s worth of struggle without a worthy guide.
For all sail, the same ocean,
drinking to false notion.
Mind-numbing potions,
to satiate the power-hungry enslavers of our devotion.
How can a man be so blind,
as to backstab his own lifeline?
Does anyone even remember to look at their own timeline?
