Today

As dawn breaks yet again Red hues of victory days gone forever Now turn gray by the grimly grief Drip by drip, we lose everything we lack Every brilliant spark burns the filthy flesh The song that is so passionately redundant Has now become the anthem to the gray race Words escape the silence create swords of absurd obsession for the mindless voices The bitter moon engulfs the sorrowful screams for help As the smoke clears away The anxiety and regrets are still alive and well The endeavors are futile as entropy refuses to cease Nothing more than obsequious crisis Mediocre achievements in an intellectual deprived domain Waiting and waiting for the extraordinary to happen Everyone is right until proven wrong But nobody is there to question the incongruity Nobody is there to plea redemption
