Perish

Perish


                   Perish thy will to survive...to stay alive...
                             This testament of mine...backbone no spine...

                             Diminished capacity here...next to fear...
                   The improbable lie...the parody to die...

                   Suffering the witness...hypnotized in duress...
                             Understanding nothing...not even one thing...

                             Diabolic in demeanor...the grass is not greener...
                   Wilted leaves dried...two minds collide...

                   Sentiment no feeling...catastrophic no healing...
                              Paralyzed lost senses...protection no defenses...

                              Blinded by reality...visions of immortality...
                    Perish thy will to live...up is all I give...
