The Skeptic Part 2

Perpertual this story the breakdown of Sally The year it was only the start of a winter The irony offers a semblance of virtue Oh creatures of man why do they always hurt you The thickness of skin can be broken by whispers The scars that they set are the scars that define us Be vigil my child cause the night is upon us The prophets will flounder and then they will call you Please save us oh sally the blindness it hurts us Forgive them forgive them I ask you to teach them Believe them believe them campassion becomes you And then you will find them and guide them to save them Perhaps you will wonder is this what you paid for And prayed to the heavens to stop all this torture These souls that are tainted by all that is basic And baseless the reasons that you have to love them In time you will walk on the shadow of evil Depression will set on the edge of your iris Concession is made by the weak willed and spineless They bury their heads and submit to enslavement Progression of time is fulfiment of remorse And so far the holy will bring us to reason Heresay they shout at the top of their voices Illusions so blinded they fail to account it In need they might be but their pride is their reaper And Deeper we'll go down this tunnel of wonder But Sally your choice is the choices of others And fight you they might, yet the end is so clear By Athi Godlo
