Uncommon Ancestor

with the gaze of the day lit to my backside.

The madness of this world

...What madness
We are killing the healers and paying their killers
Bound to the pound and signed our own fate

Through the tunnel of light and her pain was no more,

to a head of fading gold
Their wings were fully spread.
