All edge and divides
Frightening truths, severed lies
You don’t walk through a crowd
For fear of taking their lives

Serpent tongue, serpent teeth
Rattles between lips, sealed
Spoke of many, far too many
Nonconformities

Cyclic reveries
The start and end don’t
Repeat
Just an infinite line
Parallel in
Retreat

Cyclic history
Stalled and stuttered to
Death
Just to rise once again
All mistakes and
Regrets

People are selectively ignorant of all the injustice in the world.
They'd rather believe untruths and pretend they're good people.

Keep your head, keep your heart, keep your soul, all apart
Keep your misinformed selves wasting in the dark
Irrelevancies, to your own selfish lives
On the side line, watching a million die

You’ll think to yourself, what a good person you are
To never have wronged, like those ******* out far
But you’re a neutral, not a good--just a passerbyer
(Not heavenbound) a limbo-lingering bystander
