a notion of divine right

one life the pinnacle of all

a vision of perfection

by way of noble bloodlined birth

whispers of self-justification

provide constant assurance of authority

continuance with burnt offering

sacrifice to the altar of bloodlust - culture

the essence of innocence flawed by corruption

an angel in thine own eyes

a devil in thine own right

a bloodfed atrocity hailed as the paradigm of civility



which is the savage beast?

is it instinct? death as a necessity of survival?

rather a simple act of domination

murderous pride in development as

beauty dies



tears soak the tainted soil

cried to germinate a hope for the growth

of compassion

violence becoming a slave for the effects of...violence

how does it end?

does our lofty vision fade into the earth?



a fall from grace,

for our seeming seraphic stature?

or do we rebuild?

a new foundation for the future



our choice fast approaches 

acceleration to a possible apocalyptic end

with hope of emergence of humanistic

inner beauty

i prepare for the assured destiny of culture
