#abysmal
War is a waste of precious young blood
War is a waste of fresh natural resources
War is as bad as a raging and vile flood
War is evil if you understand the sources
The reasoning behind such unnecessary
Aggression and the violence and the vanity
Which are cowardly robbing and destroying
Mankind. War is bad. War is a very bad thing
War is evil and criminal
War is mortal and abnormal.
War is a waste for the perpetrators and the victims
War is a waste for all. But peace comes like dreams
Distant dreams. Peace is more precious than money
Diamond, gold, silver and all other precious metals
Said a very eloquent brother who deserves all medals
Ever invented by famous and powerful institutions
Give us peace, not evil wars dear highly divine Almighty
Help men learn from past errors and nugatory aggressions
War is unnatural and abysmal
War is lethal and inimical.

In this unholy battle,
We're acceptable collateral?
Why is this accepted?
It's not even ethical
Distract, create a spectacle
Like, oh I don't know,
A traveling circus
Call it a big tent revival
Keep your intellectual
To an abysmal level
View who believe you
To truly be the cesspool
From car to front door, time to mingle
A hive mind kicks in, single file
Resembling a slaughterhouse line
Cosplaying as unaware cattle
Only the needy need the label to be biblical
Instantly non consequential
Tell me, who's more feared,
A specific god or his devil?
Is it possible be honest though?
Any chance of pausing the show?
And collectively admit
The only truth is...we don't know

I've always been the kid in the hall
Outside the office door of some metaphorical "principal"
Donning a dunce cap, back to the wall
Anticipation spikes in general
This time it's special
When waiting for the next hypothetical, often hypocritical, shoe to fall I make it a double
Dribble and drop the ball
Taking on the challenge of life was a bad call
The order's too tall, don't try it y'all
What I've been given to work with is abysmal
Can't rely on it being factual at all
A criminally out of date owners manual
A For Dummies series appealing to a low level criminal
Vaguely creating, and/or aiding, this failure ritual
Oh the unmitigated gall
Scheduling my burial service to take place before the funeral
Fuucking brutal
I hate it and it seems the feelings mutual
The line stepping is habitual
The backward motion is perpetual
Not sure any of this is avoidable
But, what do I know...
...everything and nothing is impossibly possible

Genuinely feeling hope for something good, and being lead by false hope to believe a lie as truth, are two different beasts
I don't hate myself for what I felt, or thought, but instead what I was lead to think was okay to believe
I was lied to, again; my words beckoned something I thought was genuine, and deceit was all that met me, just like every time before it
I'm sick of being here, of thinking anything gets better, because it's true that the those who spend their fortune at keeping an authentic heart for others will inevitably end up alone, indebted to those who only care of themselves
I give myself away too often, but only for what I objectively observe as being meaningful, but I'm afraid that closing off my mind will bring me to the dark place again, and I never want to go back there
I have no control of what someone believes or feels, nor do I know what that may be, all the same
I just take what I am given, if it seems and feels good; if it echoes compassion and sincerity, because that's exactly what I lack most
I hate being a slave to this paradox, but my freedom may only come with absolute truth
I have no more faith for that - I still hope; potentiality rings, but I know that's one sided on my end
A wish is a wish..

you little shattered thing, have
you lost your pieces again?
are you still
seeking comfort
from someone's
apathetic hands?
allowing yourself to cave in
to their abysmal demands?
you stupid little thing you
disappear more every day
even your reflection dissipates
cause it can't bare to see your face
you human-turned-monster
have you forgotten how to live?
didn't anyone teach you how to give
parts of yourself to the others?
you ******* idiot
why can't you remember the past?
do you just choose to forget?
and why do you lie
about your quiet laments?
are you blissfully ignorant
or are you consumed by regret?
your sweet shy soul
where did it go?
