Is Your Humanity Enough

How could it have felt before?
Before the implosion of the void
Countless years ago
Though its message plagues tomorrow 

It brings a sense of solitude
Only felt by the criminally insane 
Disparity drives desperation
That seizes humanity, deranged 

Vultures stalking 
Helpless prey, crippled 
Bleeding through its chains
That is no human! - They chant

It is a child’s toy. they mock 
Foolish enough to believe in luck
Yet not enough to give flesh up
In this prison, four walls is just enough 

we linger down on the stone 
Waiting for grace to fall down upon us
Waiting for a soul to trust
All the while, we will never cease to rust.
