Acceptance

Yours is a fickle flame
Once blue and brilliant
Now flattened
Carried in the wind

Extinguished, silenced forever
A dark semblance
Lifts above the mountains
And casts a grey shadow

Tear down all that has come before
Obliterate ambition
Disassociate your actions
Supress your empathy

To what end do we advance?
The horizon drops away
Are we mesmerised by fear?

Do not set the conditions
Decline and retract
Let your ideals whither
And tear your empire down
Can we recreate
What we should have been?

Tear down all that has come before
Obliterate all ambition
Disassociate your actions
Supress your empathy
