Art thou content for the world created for thy very own existence?
Nay, the lust, the greed, the incompetent obsession bears too much to resist
Ye who dwell in light shall find shadow and shall once more become engulfed
Ye who hang with but a single thread shall fall into abyss and find naught
And yet Thou, whose sin is deeper than any trench dug, higher than any mountain risen
Praise those who art on the very brink of death, who wish for forgiveness
Sacrifice thy own brothers of blood or flesh, only to save thy own hide
Which, though cleaned with water, be only tainted with the very blood on thy own hands
Forsooth! Thy soul shall be worth the many of whom you have slain
Why dost thou seeketh a way to keep thy life, cheating death to his very bone?
Dost thou know the truth? That life shall end one day or the other?
What say thee of the value of others lives? Yea or Nay?
To say yea, thou hast agreed that though other lives are valuable, you care not
That the conscience of thee is guilty, and thou art admitting it
To say nay, you still care not of the lives of thy brothers, and thou art lying
Admittance, exposure, and sin cover and taint thy image, O Angelic Seer of Naught
Why dost thou give damnation to those who are undeserving of it? Is it fear?
Nay, Ye who have been condemned, rise up, take your burden and lay it before thee
The weight shall not be removed but lifted for ease of the crushing pounds
Though ye are cleansed with the time being, the ghost of burden shall haunt ye
And once more, I ask thee, why shall thee give thy brethren to be damned?
What gives thee the inspiration to give up the blood of innocent, as clichéd as most?
What dost thou desire? What dost thou want to achieve in thy very own sin?
A single word describes thy effort, describes thy own meaning of life
And describes, finally, the object thou shall receive thy punishment
Thy sin of arrogance and in turn cowardice, shall lead thee to one thing only
Naught
