"All For One, And One For All"

Astray to the recollections;

foreseen traces of elapsed life.

Dissenting search for perfection;

following without objections.    

Play the hum of revelry fife;

all for the sound of ruin's rife.

Gift of God thrown readily away;

forgotten this the soul of being.

Give us peace is what we pray,

but bring us war is what they say.

It's survival we are freeing;

destruction raged for our wellbeing.

Precious is this gist's affection!  

Age of poise humble rejection!

"It's survival we are freeing;
destruction raged for our wellbeing."

Well said. A very strong, very true piece of work. Good job.

[BLACKCRUSH]

Sad and true. Sometimes I wonder why its so clear to some and not to others. Fascinating write.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This is a disturbing look at humanity.
You tell the truth with a blatant disregard
to the hurt feelings of those who do not
with to hear it.

Excellent work.
