Beyond Words

The silence is broken by sighs of surrender The ping of enlightenment deflected on a teardrop Rolling down the ambiguous face of a pretender And missiles fall more frequently than raindrops Emotions flow downward to shatter like glass And scatter into a million fragile pieces of confusion The mind cast in shackles of brilliant brass A tether restraining a brain-dead modern aberration Who’s to say the world is not turned upside-down When in the West the days are getting darker And people choose to only tolerate their own Adoption of foreign nationals a forbidden marker The will to love frozen numb with fears unspoken An unsatiated thirst for reason in the reign of terror Because in truth, lies can now never be unproven Humanity has lost the ability to correct its mounting errors
