Pilfered

What has befallen me?
Limbs contorted, glass surrounds me,
The wails and the screams,
A grisly visage
What is that burning?
Acrid smoke, rising higher,
Charring lifeless flesh.
Medics scurrying,
Giving aid to anyone
That can be saved.
Body bag loaded,
My own face locked within it,
My life ends today.
This light has been pilfered,
The thief clad in steel,
Plucked in plain sight,
For all to see his heist.
What is happening?
Mother save me, I am frightened,
What did I do?
To make him angry.
Slurred muttering,
What’s he saying? I cannot hear him
Just leave me be.
Mother please come home,
He’s getting closer, ever closer, no!
Blow after blow,
I don’t know how much longer,
I can hold on…
This light has been pilfered,
The thief drenched in rye.
A light so tender, so bright,
Tossed to the flies.

Seeking my Own Sun
04:12

The Dawn
Has come with a gift, a chance to be renewed
For that is my only hope
I stay dreaming in the void as the world basks in the morning light
But I must arise, and venture on, to seek my own
Sun,
To end this torturous
Dream
That plagues my
Mind
That holds me
Down
This warmth, could it be the morning has finally come?
I hope, to see that light and feel it’s embrace.
Whispers stave away the dawn, deprive me of peace.
And yet I’m helpless to resist the pull of the
Dream,
Hypnotic captor of sanity
Keeping me from my
Sun
I wish
To awaken
But these voices
Hold me back
Again, the sun eludes my gaze
My lament grows, with each passing day
The slumber, binds me to this place
From which I cannot escape
One day I will arise
But until then I am trapped
Dreaming indefinitely.

Death of a Judge
04:08
|

Cursed wife,
Locking me away,
My pain, her nuisance.
Why can’t they see?
The truth in front of them:
I’m dying.
The cruelty of man
Lacking in compassion
The cruelty of man
Plastic smiles and lies.
Oh, tell me why
I’m to lay and suffer
I mold my life
After theirs.
Oh God tell me why
Am I fated to die?
What sin did I commit?
To deserve this punishment.
Where is your justice?
Where is your kindness?
The cruelty of God
Divine contradiction
The cruelty of God
Punishment without sin.
He could not be cruel
No, it could only mean,
The absence of God
The absence of God
I can’t believe, I can’t believe
The absence of God
Truth finally revealed.
It’s getting colder
The darkness encroaches.

Means to an End
04:43

Life
Brings
End
As they run in this vain attempt to escape
This prison of flesh and decay
Afraid of their own
Futility
Some run, some chase
For ages always the same
Difference only within
The means.
They’re all just means to an end
No justification needed
All roads end the exact same way
To begin again
Fear
Takes hold in the twilight
All you hold dear
Crumbles
Weight unfelt
Until the earth quakes
The smallest line,
Erased…
Oh the triviality of time
Magnified
As the flesh pales
Before the fall
As the chapter reaches its end
Closing this book
Forever
In the archives of existence
Few tales are retold
They’re all just means to an end
Don’t fret, enjoy life instead
One’s death won’t define their past
For it all returns to dust.
