Epitaphs

This enlightened path burns with a furious gleam A sight to behold in the corners of reality The road that we once chose to dream Now a radiant horizon filled with possibilities These aching laments resound in our minds Every failure suffered through our endless cries Blood spilt endlessly throughout the ages When will we learn to break from our cages From the ailments that plague our hearts To offer a helping hand toward our hearths The embrace of unity And the death of frailty For the wheel must be broken To ensure one simple truth is spoken For we must concord to a harmony Lest we burn in the embers of apathy For we shall rise like a phoenix from the ashes Begin anew on the wings of second chances We walk the same path to our inevitable end Yet we riddle each other with wounds to tend Overcome our millennia of failures Reshape and rebuild a flawed human nature We must reach out and grab hold Lest we become a story once told Blood spilt endlessly throughout the ages When will we learn to break from our cages From the ailments that plague our hearts To offer a helping hand toward our hearths The grave awaits But make no mistake Through bliss or hurt We return to the dirt
