Eternity

Trust in madness reach the flame. The whole wide world is totally insane; We elect leaders that live for pain Living for self reliance in greed for gain, We plot our course marked on a blotted page To falter in the truth of the matter We build a shelter amidst the fallen shade We long for a social uprise yet fall headlong into its blade of suicide Eternity is forever amidst the climatic weather Forces to shelter the helpless beggar We stand on truth amidst a loose tooth, Shattered dreams pomp in circumstancial quest The world will like you as long as you do something for them They often lie in wait to deceive as they brustle through the leaves; We often will call evil good and good evil We only accept what that is trivial, A shoulder to cry amidst the pain, Torn to shreds loose heads; A notion of darkness amidst the light Marked on a blotted page although most fully intact.
