Baneful Studies

Recreated for this new era
I stand high with all mockery laid to rest
Obtained by these doings 
I shut my eyes never to see 
those once colors again 
This forsaken truth now brought to the table 
Your last tear has hit the floor 
and now you have stepped off up from your knees 
Take your final view out these sad windows, 
beyond this prejudice 
a new light appears in pure sight 
Left at gasp for another breath, 
overturned by this moment in time 
I will return only to smile 
The guilty left dead at the shoreline 
I shut my eyes never to see 
those once colors again
