Puddle of Ashes

Hollow eyed 
gatherers of material... things
thick egos smashing everything 
no understanding of our insignificance 
against the black curtain of time and stars
forgetting the lessons from our scars
Christ crushing little rogues
'til we snap our heart bones
'til the awakening slaps us back 
into a puddle of our ashes
