Untitled Part 1

i am the salt of the earth and the ocean i am the light that shines from within the inner cries behind facial emotions the darkness that is covered in skin i comprehend the appearance of freedom though i am chained to this earth i accept the mistakes of edom and understand my own worth i am a man in need of compassion just like any who filled his challice but my love runs thin like rations and ive thrown virtue over the ballast my eyes swing low in the presence of a smile and ears ring numb to a laugh i havent the endurance to run deceptions mile nor the energy to last the light goes into submission and the darkness smothers the land evil comes out of submission and begins to reach out its hand it comforts carress and consoles it puts the mind and body at ease then it takes over in total control and kills like a malignant desease it works its way thought the canvas of life and disfigures the art that has been laid like the reavers who waunder the night they destroy everything made watchers.... they gaze with envy as the fallen plunder the earth the hearts of many become empty as the battle begins for the turf they possesse and dismember ... the body of the humankind they erase what we remember over the ages of time they manipulate truth.... by the twist of a word and the tongue and all that was ever accomplished was demolished before it it ever begun but time is a constant and never ceases to flow what we forget in time only time again can bestow
