Armistice

 

Unearthing the fallen saint

You enter the temple of a forsaken god

Through tangled half-truths

And benevolent lies

 

A flame hangs in the distance

Pendant choking your neck

Severed shrouds of fault and blame

Emotively torn, asunder

 

The hollowness reverberates

As indifference talks,

Truths halved and lies proclaimed

Ad nauseam

 

Hissing phrases

Flung to the wayside, garbage

Thin veil hiding the essential

Fundamental, of which many

Will never find

 

Clashing serpents and

Empty dispositions

Staff of Colossus lost

Amongst the rubble

 

Between birth and death

Survival apathetic

Burn out the days

Blame the knights;

I dub thee, sir

 

Baptism by fire

 

Take what you want

Leave the rest

Push it all away

The impression it leaves

Will be gone in time

Learn nothing from the experience

 

Brain matted gray

What does it matter?

 

Call a truce to these

Imprudent and irrational ways

Who cast the first stone, who cares

The journey is far too short
