Undying Debts

Indebted shadows prey on a prayer

They drink up their glories and sins,

While contending for souls so rare

And endow nails upon my skin:

 

Clever born,

Hearty,

And silver to the bone.

Nevermore,

Sadly,

Now mutely grey in tone.

 

“Awake!

Arise!

Win our war in Rome!”

They break,

They lie,

And never came home.

 

Forget

Please never,

This threat

I sever,

Regret?

Too clever

to lie.

 

Faulty sins hoist a ****** banner

While goodness is only a trend,

And foes are convenient in manner

Convenience: a conclusive friend.

 

Too clever to lie

What a convenience am I

Am I: your conclusive friend;

Answer as to why

You raise the stakes high

When you have no soul to lend?
