ghost town: call to rise

as i walk on through the truncated rendezvous and eyes of lies

flickering through pages of stories that live and die inside

a mortuary of pain, love, grief, ache and tears

hardened by the apathy of world; sliding doors of years

succumbing to the reality; the rule of the land

burying righteousness with heaps of corrupt sand

knowing that there shall be no happy ever after

society poisoned by the venom of insurmountable disaster

lord have mercy on the hell that is wrecked

going through the motions with loud silences of thoughts left unsaid

give strength to a world bequeathed with hate

going distant to the emotions of humanity; cursed to its communal fate

louder go the debates; more hurtful the sounds

silent and dead men of morality; living ghost towns

rise; rise for that is the only option left

die; die for what you believe in; reason to exist in bereft
