Humility

Long forgotten shadows cowarding away
jealous of all they have lost
envious of the day
The flight that has landed them in hell 
has departed deserting them
heading not the toll nor the bell
with every ounce of measured pain
bearing down on them
and driving the holy ghost insane
the featureless shapes sulk constantly
drained of all hope and peace
humbly,insatiably lost in humility
