Lifting the Fog

Lifetimes have past from those days of long ago Inching to be what we were, now understandably slow For such memories, such memories, engulfed in our sin To imagine their thoughts, to begin their begin Idiots, imbeciles, superlatives they were not Never knowing the destruction they would cause Gallantly pushing the button, our worlds now in pause The viewing I now view, contradicts who we are How can alleged intelligence be whom we breathe Encircled we are, formed we wreathe For it's against the against, what matters so Out there are many, each other through their eyes Going against each others grain, so we despise .
