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
