Vestiges

Contagion written across this sky.
Sinking into a hell of our creation.
Here lies a rigor mortis corpse.

Vestiges of a once great promise.
Dashed against our failed response.
Idolising times that never existed.
We continued but couldn’t resist this…

Maddening influence creeping in.
Spell victory without doomsday decision.
Warping ideas to weapons of war.
Upon these chariots we cannot limit what we should abhor.
Fashioning fantasies to mask our pain.
Descend, from these heavens that made us insane.

Blasphemy writhes in full view.
Bargaining against them and you.
Wrapping hope across enormous loss.
Carve to the centre to witness true cost.

Parasitic embryos born forth.
Addiction is every passing moment.
Swallow as flames lick away conscience.
