Liberté, égalité, fraternité.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité.

A Poem by Sarah
"

oh how they have failed us with their promises of a secular heaven and instead gave us a revolution straight from the mouth of hell

"
'Liberté, égalité, fraternité.' they shout from their hypocritical mouths. Oh, how I despise their angelic faces and their devilish intentions. They speak of being our savior, they speak of secularization, they speak of heaven; all I see is hell, all I see is hell.  

'Liberté, égalité, fraternité,' they carve into our flesh; I come to despise these words, these foolish dreams in which mankind is simply incapable of achieving; there is a reason why ideas remain behind the pages of a book abused.

oh how they have failed us with their promises of a secular heaven
and instead gave us a revolution straight from the mouth of hell
