Ever wondered, pondered,
Surrendered your heart asunder to the quickening of truth?
Ever plundered?
The perfume of sacrifice rises past the mundane,
Rises through the carnage,
Through the stench,
Through!
Ever plundered the promise of a child? Have you ever?
Ever looked upon your visage?
Rot adorns your grimace,
Your self-smirk haunts your day’s nightmare!
Ever walked with fatuous pretense across the shrapnel of your once honor
Yeah,
You,
Me,
And the shadow and the drumbeat picking up tempo!
Ever danced,
Let your guard down,
Surrendered your heart with love to the quickening of a child’s dream?
Yeah you!
- I.A.T.
