Lawke

-Lawke-

Disillusioned by a moral compass. Pointing every way, besides the right direction. Separate the wheat from the chaff. Is there merit in being cursed?

Our nature, certainty of blatant hypocrisy. 

Test upon test. 

Never knowing when the cast of shadows lurking. Forever is a long time, when existence goes on and on. 

Shown wrong when rewarded as willful treachery.
 
Albeit seeing progress, granted no mercy. Sought out for belonging. The craving of divine love. 

The balance unforgiving. Born with the best of both worlds, follow suit with the worst punishments.
 
The heir, heavy with black clouds at hand. 

Temptations of kin smoldering, laughing at every torment bled dry.

The chains of Olympus withering away. 

Open the heart, plead for understanding.
