There Was Once A Time

Of peaceful thoughts and intentions.

To believe in goodness, God, and love.

A child of innocence as wide eyed the sight of a wonderful world.

 

Disease among the beauty; killing any and all.

Age and cancer

Death such an ever present reality.

 

A man of Peace; Jesus. Killed by those of this reality

A reality where once revealed shows the beast of humanity

A species with a love and passion to destroy.

 

i used to believe in hope and peace

i used to think there was a way to not only survive but make the world a better place

i am nothing if not naive

 

who or what i am means nothing as the wind has more body, the sea more mind,

and everything is drowned in the horror of the roar of humanity...

 

So, what's next?

Is there salvation?

Will people ever learn to love?

 

No.

No, there is no hope, no cure or answer other than what has already been seen

And so,

let what is coming come,

let the true nature of humanity show how truly ignorant it can be

as for me, i will dissappear and it will be good to be totally free from all this shit

and live in peace and harmony

in my dreams.
