Temperature Drop

All in lies
and to hope betrayed
this human prayer
in requests of faith
holds the precipice to its heart

All divest by such noncommittal love
all broken by the dreamings of
but to its feet lays petition
for the signatures of psychopaths

All becomes contrary to the heart
endorsement beneath threat
to stand alone
with all this frigid hate

Corpses by numbers capitulate
compiled in easy flippant verbiage
designates a willful slaughter
for all the love of peace
and with petty price elucidate
the why-fores agony
wherefores impartiality 
signed away by sociopaths

So all becomes this frigid hate
and ruled by the secular dictators of death
a human prayer
in requests of faith
holds the precipice to its heart
