In the Beginning the End Can’t be Seen

Wrote this in 2005. I wish the War was over there. Bring the gang back home.


In the Beginning the End Can’t be Seen

Undecided undivided we stand
Up to our swollen knees in the blood of others
Can you see the lies written in the mire?
Told to stay to be fed and now we beg
 
Damaged beyond all sight it cannot be stopped
In too deep it has no turns except for the worst
Down the path with the devils we seek the truth
Kept in the dark now for all their right
 
Pulpit sweat stained martyrs can be seen on every channel
Left to drown in their homes we fill with tears in our own
Fat lazy and drunk with sound dulled beyond invasion
Sandblasted tanned hides in the white sun
 
Indivisible invincible
Indescribable
Invisible incredible
Inhospitable
 
How soon before it ends
Parched and running the last mile
It stings our headless minds
Smoke covered tombs will all that will be left
 
On the hills of the dead we can see the pyres of the damned
Chained and broken a dream flutters in the breeze
It was good while it lasted
Now the master will be taught a new lesson in poor

Peace

I can see again
with new
vision
and clear beauty

I'm sorry
to have kept you
all waiting
holding secrets

Rivers of time
have etched the lies
along banks of deceit
poisoned water

I am done
paying for what I thought
was right
and who was wrong

I am leaving it all
for the locusts
the imps
and the eyes

My guns are gone
my sword sheathed
my armor scrapped
parapets abandoned

I am sorry for it all
I walk out of the desert
naked upon green grass
Into your heart
