A Silent Army

The constant is postponed,
by the fall of a silent army;
a cold welcoming is quickly followed.

A mind interrupts the concord,
supplying a nourishment of
indescribable strangeness.

The lack of neutrality intervenes
with the up and coming flow,
inviting a rude awakening.

The future is now submerged 
with an uncomfortable past,
washing away any sort of obscurity.

Completing its sole function,
it quickly strives to leave with 
the unmemorable aftertaste 
of the conditioned body.
