Abandoned Reverence
It is perfected
these scars of neglect
like stars in vague darkness
Beneath lines of courage
Enough to live for
Enough to die for
It is an ever flowing storm
this voice of fear
Deceiving
like choice in fierce plight
Beneath calm weathers
Enough to fail for
Enough to try for
It has all been given
All been delayed
Lost for so long
between whitened brilliance
and silenced millions
Fight the strength
that wounds the spirit
Enough to resound for
Enough to imprison for
Absolution never was rectified
Never tolerant
Never illiberal
Betrayal always engraved on existence
Always forbidden
Always allowed
Foment the restless
that has forsaken me
the purpose of infinity
the eternal cry
of solitary humanity
