Ancient Ways
Adorn the sky with stars
Paint the sea with clouds
Perchance the festering of emotions
And lingering divisions
Divinity is born from thought
Altruism is the father
Compassion is likely the mother
But fear is the result
Ancient ways delay
Civic progression over time
And a dilapidation of human morality
Constructed of misconstrued ideals
The great sea separates
Divided by mighty continents
Populated with critters
Eventually by humanity
The greatest truth
Is forged by a foundation of lies
Law codes are a house of cards
Fragile at best
Ancient ways are here to stay
Nostalgia is the blind God
Change is the sacrificed martyr
Parade a paradox of love and hate
