clarity : downfall : recognition

wasted decades. the clock ticks down to our final seconds. because we never let love's beautiful voice grace our lips. air raid sirens steal the place of all laughter. since we only apologized on our own terms. we are held captive within cement and glass cages. our hands were never used to shake and our eyes were only used to pass along our judgemental glances. clouds of smoke and fire forecast our weather. nobody escapes this cannibal treaty. preist and lawyer are left homeless and searching for work. the mortician and the gunsmith compose the vertebrae of this frail society. the general holds his troops in the empty cathedrals. run to the hospital! find the stockade! put your faith in your arms! genetics dependent on ambush and nihilism. everything worth fighting for was consumed by stubborn self-dependence. we fight for the mob. you cry out, "oh God i can't remember the snow! i can't remember the way it used to be! i can't remember the rain! i can't remember the snow!" has the sky always been so tainted orange by day and so faded violet by night? we never would have reached this point if we had humbly folded our hands to pray. servant fetch the water! servant fetch the water! servant fetch the water!
