Neglected Debris
Not a soul can stop the rising tide;
You cannot talk this out of existence,
or even try to stop the flow.
A desecration of the only thing
that your poor soul ever saw as holy.
I am not withdrawn dreams-
I am not your damned righteousness.
I am what was left behind
when you cleared the floor and swept away the cobwebs.
A holy uprising of all that is unholy;
I am only the terror you gave me power to be.
So don’t look to me for any sort of redemption-
It is not in the cards- I checked.
This hand you were dealt,
And, well it is the hand you will play.
Win or lose; makes no difference to me.
For I have played this round a thousand times,
and there is only one possible outcome.
I withstand the tides,
while you crumble before this god of yours-
and all that neglected debris.
