Prose – Revelations Of Truth And Lies


– Revelations Of Truth And Lies –

We are pacified
by the illusion of peace,
lulled by the momentary sense
of our higher morality,
the better sense of a world
developed by the path
of its own destruction.

We sew the shrouds of our children,
mark the places where we will lay
underneath a smog-grey sky
staring upward from within our open graves.

These revelations
of truth and lies
are a document;
not of our greatness,
merely of our existence.
