Meaning Lies Between the Lines (But Never Tells the Truth)
there are memories of old women being young
and there are memories of old men being hung
the noose was tied too tightly for
the memories shall be remembered no more
murdering the infants, and slaughtering the hearts
of a million unborn babies or "embryotic parts"
life is death, and dying is living
but in the end we all end up crying and forgiving
forgiving all the ones who do the right things morally
we send them suicide notes, but write them formally
dear to whom it may concern,
i never kissed the razors edge
and never hung from an old oak tree
never did i swallow poison
and never did you talk to me
never did i dream
that this is how'd it end
but then again i never thought
that dying was a trend
i will join the congregation
of suicidal brethern
and i will push this kriss
i will push it further in
for my heart can bleed no more
when it fills all of your cups
and now i leave you with this:
DEFICIO VIVO EST VICTUS MORIOR
sincerly,
I
