Can you hear the final breath of the earth dissipating,
From the pressure of our vice crushing the life from her lungs?
Can’t you see that there is no excuse to justify,
Our selfishness is a cancer, a holocaust of all life that can’t be undone.
The bones beneath our feet are rotating back and forth,
Bearing the weight of the bloodstains that mark our dying land.
The sun above is grieving with tears of fire raining down.
As we sever the outstretched roots of those born from different ground.
Destroy our borders so love may abound.
The vortex in our veins is never satisfied.
We are lost in galactic plains longing to be clarified.
The maelstrom in our brains, narcissism magnified.
Subservient to our own chains this is conglomerate mass suicide.
The rocks and trees cry out but we are deaf to their voice.
(We consume all that is within view.)
The nights relinquished in pursuit of pleasure,
Corrode our potential virtue in equal measure.
The murmur and babble our hearts masticate,
As bullets from an emptied gun cannot regurgitate.
The venom we drink from the breasts of serpents,
Pours into our veins like rivers in the ocean.
We conceal our nakedness with a shadow’s tongue.
Afraid to gaze upon our collapse as we come undone.
They say that we are what we consume, and we consume everything in view.
Typhlotic earth absorbed in gloom, eclipsed by the carcass of a disloyal moon.
We must decrease for you to increase.
As we traverse the darkness ahead,
Forewarned by the guidance of the dead.
We will shed the weight of all our fears,
Forsake our comfort for the obscured.
Pursue the pulsing angelic tone,
To brave the dominion of the unknown.
Echo, together we are not alone.
Together we are one.
We are called to place our hands over the scars of mankind,
To be the symbiosis of the grave and everlasting light.
