Lamented, our landscape was clumsy
Fated unfair, trying to find a way to comfort seized ideas
Nearly painful, inverted history reveals itself
Dishonored and banished claiming self-righteousness
Asserting with clenched jaw, tolerance awaits
Surpassing those sporting fragments of ignorance

Within the atoms of actions and words, assertive consolations
Your victory squabbles with verse, searching for the truth
Indeed, this time strengthens the exile, regimes all confusion it hooks
Unpredictable this persistence, to victory? Why? For what reason?
Where is the value…the pleasure in each untrue atom of engineered utopias?

Through this destruction by your hand, I can find no consolation
Reward painting itself in the jaw of belief of steady sands of the ocean
I stand by love, by the power and earnest search for truth
Philosophy will not leave my side, yesterdays are not lost
Ambitious solace, piercing visions, persistent in strength
From which I have learned that temptation is the enemy

Driving away wailings led me from grief to the directive light
Moral visions transcribe without mistake what passions imply
Today a cry reeks deep out of a grieving throat
Sacked and pillaged by insidious corrosions
Come ideas hijacking inventive poetic explosions

Eager fortune sways to easily discern
What was historical drama now lays fractured & burned
Facts never be known, or the truth of intentional soul
Yet, in a world sick of evil, for every betrayal
There births a framework of justice compelling personal

I choose to avail the root of moral certainty
For the real justice swells, encircles by theoretical necessity
Love is a martyr, beautiful and pure
Allowing perpetrations heartless and cruel
To recognize the theory of greed, banished by freedom
In the end, no matter the pain, we die with dignity

Personifying the rational, that it was worth dieing for
For within death comes life, rest assure
Truth is the personification of who a man is
Enlightenment implies the warrior
And having the courage to follow it...beyond all shadow of doubt
In that is where I chose to stand, and die by that sword
Then so be it, if I shall die alone!
For I will always be the author

LeeJ,
A field of clover with a touch of weed.
Excellent write.
