Discontinue

Calm as a crystal lake.
From these hours, solace I did take.
No noise to distract and devalue.
Nor cries of: I shall challenge you!

For war is weary, as now am I.
To such madness I declare goodbye.
Wave farewell and burn to ash.
Never return to its violent crash.

Death is dreary, weathers my soul.
Rather spend eternity in a shoal.
Treading water barely afloat.
Than once more ingest old roles and choke.

So snd me an antitode to my fears.
I can no longer serve amongst my peers.
For brutality is all they worship.
I’ve felt that poison manipulate.
No more!

Never again will I bathe in it.
Wallow in the severity.
Drink from the depravity.
Seal my heart in a cage.
Barter away my humanity.
The price is wrong.
I valued nothing.

Your royalty is cheap.
Will incomplete.
Facsimile of a soul.
Screw your obsessive control!
