Nuance of Intension
Eyes of the world opened
Upon another tarnished day
Hardly a gaze un-thwarted
By morality in decay
When nuance of intension
Of what was meant to be
Is buried beneath hatred
Where eyes disdained don't see
Virtue fades to memory
Requiem in stories told
Of how the world should be
Unfilled with bitter cold
I fear for the children
Naive in their way
Faith placed in teachings
Hoping they're not led astray
Alas, this day is over
To bed I’ll find my way
Closing out extraneous
To dream of better days
