Here marks the war of infamy
Where future meets the past
Where deeds undone become our thoughts
Through eerie photographs

Here marks the war of human kind
I've set a flag atop
The center of this universe
But the war will never stop

Here marks the war of human kind
Of daily strut and gait
Of breathing lungs and pumping hearts
One we daily demonstrate

Here it flows like rivers
And branches into sea
But it plagues the once astringent
Like needle pricks, we bleed

The cast is every human man
The enemy is none
Where none shall equal everything
But neither many things nor one

Each moral that we rupture
Precedes the bandages applied
And then our morals patched and ready
So the guilt has passed us by

Each daily term we cease and burn
Each thought of loving life
Fades faithfully to spirit form
In the fog-inflicted night

Contrast once, a brighter shade
Even darker shine should help
Just show me something I've not seen
And I may re-love myself

But walking, I have noticed
Here-- the tombstone of desire
The only hole, unfinished
Death fell short of such empire

Miles full of grid-like holes
With a marking on the stones
Each date and reason fitted
“Homicide, by human bones”

"Love" and "Faith" have crystal tombs
"Honor" "Loyalty"
All combined - one word - one reason
Murderer: "Society"

Release the foul imprisonment
These feelings mustn't die
-But the date relays so long ago
Nothing was once alive

It hit me like a ton of bricks
Murderer - so blind
I've cheated, lied, and now my life
Contributes to the crime

Detectives never cought me
Ethereal deceit
Unveiled by my acknoledgment
And succinct apology

Let me weep while it's still possible
Before my graveyard shift
And convince myself to suicide
I deserve to die for it

I’ll die reciting sorrys
Here’s a rose, oh noble stone
At last with all my life’s creations
I was never more alone
