Sacrifice

Sacrifice

A Poem by Declan Cooney
"

An old poem revisited and recorded! But, its not released to the public yet...

"

Salvation’s incantations

Of our nations relations

Enduring intimate hatred

Enslaved in fury that’s sacred

In the distress and madness

And crowds of corpses at masses

I stand alone

In my black beanie and sunglasses

It is this world

That trespasses

As slow as molasses

And yet crashes

At the passage

Of massive spatial gashes

And while you fascists want

To attach my s**t to your fads

Its only pissing me off

Its only getting me mad!

So shift your feet

Start your stepping

And walk the f**k out

You don’t want to even want

To test the evil

Flowing from my mouth

I would take a bullet for honor

I would take a knife for my fam

I would be tortured for love

You don’t know who the f**k I am

Such superficial sacrificial

Thoughts going on

Such intensified indispensable

Thoughts coming on

Its like a breakdown alarm

And this time it is real

Its like when it rains

And every raindrop I can feel

And every droplette of acid rain

Burns upon my flesh

Soaking to the bone

I’m enduring my test.

I sacrifice myself for others

Cause I know what they’d do

If it was me with the gun to my head

Instead of you

Sacrifice

Sounds so nice

When in your plight

All reasons being right

Like you’ve seen the sight

Of death in its height

And you realize

The triteness of life

So walk toward the light

(Walk toward the light!)

 

Clouded in darkness

I light the torch of my truth

To guide my path thru sanity

And find my way to you

Roads paved with memories

Of my faults and my fears

Ahead I see joyful days

Behind me, foes and tears

I’m beyond my deception

And emotional ties

I am beyond social secession

And pathological lies

I immerse myself in daylight

Yet to cover up my soul

I bask in beams of sunlight

And nowadays I feel whole

It’s like all of this darkness

I’ve been locking away

Has been released from its bindings

That kept it at bay

And now I’m here to pray

That H T P can love

But I ain’t gonna say,

“It’s a gift from above”

I’m saying my broken heart

Still harbors some juice

I’m saying, if you’re interested

It’s all belonging to you

I’m saying,

I ain’t meant to be here for very long

But you got me thinking

That I was all as hell wrong

 

Sacrifice

Sounds so nice

When in your plight

All reasons being right

Like you’ve seen the sight

Of death in its height

And you realize

The triteness of life

So walk toward the light

(Walk toward the light!)

 

I'm unwanted
And in the back of my mind
I'm haunted
I feel like the main objective
In a heavenly Gauntlet
I'm a singled out rapper
By a show of hands
And I'm a total f****n white boy
If you’d ask me to dance
I used to lie front and back
Just to cover my past like
“I'll put a gat in your mouth
And bust rounds out your a*s”
I'm a all black wearin
Draft card tearin
Got the world on my shoulders
You don’t know what I'm bearin'
I'm an acid tipped dart
A godly fraud without a heart
A thousand piece jigsaw puzzle

Missing every part

And I’m happy

For once, not just crappy

I fought off my own demons

With no one to back me

I’m done with the acting

And just portraying such ruth

I’m defiant and rutilant

Imbued with new truths

Dividing with my rage

I take steps to be calm

Strange becomes Haze

As right becomes wrong

While wrong becomes right

I can breathe in this life

I can see in this light

Please don’t leave me tonight

I’m spilling my spite

Releasing my knives

Begging, praying,

Pleading, needing this vice

I finally decide

To choose the good side

To relinquish all my sin

That’s been trapped in my mind

So be the one that I find

When I open these eyes

To see a new world

Wiped clean of my lies

Will you be there to aid me

In battles of woe?

Will you slay my demons with me

While misguided and broken?

Will you sacrifice just a piece of your soul

So we can bind it with mine,

So at least we can be whole

And I promise, for you

A life free from pain

With me by your side

Come the tide, and moon again
