They bow before the silent shrine(brimstone of the inevitable future)and chant their slurred visions,Prayers of desperation for the helplessrise into the selective skyin search of the forbidden palace,Hope fades fast in a worldwhich stares its love in the back,Tears are fallin' tonightfrom a fragile, hidden face,Pain throbs throughout the rootsThroughout the riversThroughout the fieldsThroughout the valleysThroughout the hillsThe failthful army of humanity has retreatedthe defense has surrendered,By his brothers hand, defeatednever shall it be rendered,The unborn patiently awaitthe departure of our selfishnessand greed,Life walks tall amungst the strifeoblivious to the red-flushed battle fields,continuous with or without its brothers and sistersand will do so, until fatherplaces his untimely flamesupon life's open wound.1999, Written October 14th, 2001 © on Oct 14 2001 08:34 AM PST   10 • 0 • 9
