Omission

Solid roots buried deep within the earth Though a chimera Far above the dense ground High high above Where there is no one else around But down down below To a place rarely talked about Where everybody goes To confront the darkness that lies within Slowly eating away at our soul Slowly devouring us all A species as a whole Will things ever change? yes For better or worse The answer is unknown Whether or not we choose to live life recklessly We all endure our own kind of legacy Whether or not we choose to be seen Is irrelative to our destiny Run from Fame Ego Arrogance Radicalism Carrying the restricted hatred of shame With nothing of any true value to gain Chasing satisfaction In an immoral domain Having the power to enthrall the criminally insane Having to always pretend to play this game Hoping that it’s all a game All from the same death set aflame Burning ghosts of an iridescent pain Praying that some sense of morality still remains
