the Remorse of the Past

This world so dreary
Has made me weary
Weak, I cannot move my feet
Strong the drum, its beat
It drags me out of misery
Into the naked street

This world has grown so cold
And still I find the fold
Strength in numbers, weakness in the same
Some though the tame, timid to the game
March on into the void, hold up the chastised hand
Let sing your protest song, let be known your name

This age has come near to end
No more can we pretend
All is not as is safe and secure the door
Waist in time to clamor to the floor
Save the perfect fight for perfect strong the man
Gave unto nothing ever more

Serenity has been sought
We've captured nothing to the not
All have fought in vain
To replenish what they gain
Take this world at valued face to give in to the irrational
Leave here to the void, evaporated pain

It feels post-apocalyptic with struggle. Trying to survive by standing together. And overall succeeding. I still like it. Even though it has classic rhyming, it holds to your adult awareness. I still love it.
