One Face

serenade me with the antiquities of our lost youth bring me absolution lay down baring our bodies our souls to the heaven's judgment ah yes we have sinned we have sinned horribly witnessed genocide all we did was sit by all we could do was cry we became jaded the clarity gave to us in youth faded are these signs of times to come a future where we all have only one face the same face the only face we wear in public toxic fumes from our divine intervention rotting our lungs war's left over waste homes torn apart broken hearts trying to make amends losing the fight leaving us all with one face the same face (C)MJR 2009
