Apocalypse

The challenging quests
of my dreams
did not discourage me
from continuing to believe

So I am reverting,

as in my most lucid nightmares
I entered the toxic realm
surrounded by the scent of gore

I could feel ~ I could smell
the ominous presence
of the cryptic marauders

humanely insane beings
who are mindless savages
self-hating socio-paths

whose only language
divulges in deception
their solid fists
and murderous machines

their tongues
have reveled
in humiliating
and consuming
this very Holy
god forsaken place
we call home

I entered the maze
lost and yet confident
secretly revengeful
to place my detoxifying
touch in hopes to erase
the forces that try to wipe
out the entire meaning
of existence

Life,

as I was taught
by warriors of the
same trade, yet wiser
I stay calm, cool
and confident
not to reveal my
identity

this new face
you won't find any
stitches, for they are gone
while my scars are
healed completely

my crystal eyes observes
fearless I remain cautious
intricate deep silence

empty paths are scattered
with remnants of lives
lost and captured souls
remain invisible

the living, the beauty
transformed
now molecules dissipate

the only trace the marauders
toxic unworthy evidence of
human feces

yet there is hope
for there remains the life
of those who refused
to misconstrue their faith

discussion will empower
the hearts who believe
when they interact
with the crystal eyes
who will make it all
complete by the
grace of God.
