A Tragedy Known To All

Sitting quivering,

Scared and pretentious be false heroes.

Zero talent save with words of malicious incinerating intent

Seamless is our great divide from sanity

 

And so it will be now and forever more

As it has always been

A festering mess of disgrace and distress

Lead by a dream

Betterment for all at the cost of freedom

The vanity grows thick from this sickness

And high on lies do our prophets guide us

Further into darkness

 

Suicide silence

The inexplicable cure to immeasurable pain

The rain falls to the ground

In puddles of blood, muddied and decayed

Flawed, and disarrayed.
