What
was any of it for...?
The
lust, the want, the gore.
Reaping
still, the awful seeds of war.
Implanted
in your mind and cells.
You
used to think you knew them well.
A
moment's loss. The cost is too severe.
Your
great control is flying out of gear.
Unlike
the olden days of wash and wear.
Masks
that weep a porcelain refrain.
Melting
in the drops of acid rain.
Losing
more than anything you'd gained.
Wandering
through all your wanton pain.
Wrath-filled
questions never answered.
Meaning
pleading some disaster.
Tell
me, what was any of it for...?
