Atonement

Glaring at the horizon
Blood boils
An insurmountable rage and the memory of you
Is too much to withstand
Too much to withstand

The indoctrination behind your words
Permitting the fall of us all
You are not of this world
I banish you henceforth

You shall not walk amongst us
Not a flicker of hope for you
I condemn who you are
Who you’ve always been

The steel mask no longer shielding you
Free-falling from heights so great
Your place in the clouds won’t hold you for long
The time has come to set your feet on the ground
Or you will disintegrate

You raise yourself on a throne that others made
And you think that your prize will not choke you
Savor your short lived reign
For the ones you’ve tried to break will rise against you
Soon and certain the day of your fall
When you’ll know that my winged curse has found you

You will burn
The indoctrination behind your words
Permitting the fall of us all
You are not of this world
I banish you henceforth

For all you believed you were
For all the pain and hurt
For all that which you caused
You will eventually fall

Compassion has come up short
You are banished
