this day
expanding beyond the torment
only to suffer
another unnecessary moment

in a land of confusion
that withdraws all illusion
of peace

battles rage
a generation comes of age
and the old guard prepares to go
yet unwilling

this day
which breaks behind another
shall then reveal
those who run for cover

fingers pointing at the wall
fail to prevent the fall
of empire

bodies rot
minds present what they are not
and no one seems to care
in the killing

Stop/Think/Act
