Don’t look away,
this is the choice
that you made,
pushing everything
you love
into the grave.
Now,
there is no
apology
that can repair
the destruction
you set in motion.
Thought you’d laugh
and laissez-faire,
but what you bought
with no emotion
brought you another
cross to bear.
Can’t undo
the gain of function.
Weaponized that you
don’t care.
That subtle feeling
that we’re falling
has become
blood everywhere.
How did we get here?
Don’t turn away.
These are the children
you emaciated.
These are the lives
you ended,
seeking a palace
of your own.
There is no
apology
for the crimes
of your beliefs.
No other time
we could see
for just to seek
water for the tree.
No enemy;
just another
pawn and pauper,
fraud and liar
playing god.
You can’t ignore us,
we won’t allow it.
The ghosts of the damned
understand,
everything goes as planned.
