Certainty
September 22, 2013
I know how weak men are
Why so sad? Why so alone?
The burden of being alive
They would do what they had always done
Men of god and men of war
Together removed from existence
War endures, war is god
War lets them approach the infinite
He imagined, before he got away
Imagination was a killer
You couldn't burn the blame
What could I ask of you that you've not already given?
His knowledge remains imperfect
Be listened to at all he had to lie
No great mystery, much better
The single abiding certainty, men killed and died.
