Above The Rubble

Structures crumbling under the weight of the decisions made in haste Beneath the rubble lies all the reasons it was all laid to waste The signs were seen but disregarded as mere means to an end The golden mean would've sufficed but extremes prevailed once again Lack of faith in what is seen lead to harder lessons learned Some fight hard for their destruction so their path is truly earned You can preach until the cows come home but many won't give a second listen I guess the slaughter is more enticing to their inhumane animalism We're cannibalistic in a sense with the way we come for each other We've been deceived to come against & to fight one another Everyone loses at the end of days if we're overcome by the night We're in the midst of the battle of all battles with those that wish to force a fight They say that all is fair in love & war and that purple hearts are a blessing All I see are the wounds that decorate us while we endure convalescence Open your eyes unto the message before you take further steps I implore you to be righteous in your ways so that you avoid oversteps
