We Have Failed Life.

by PunkyThespian - Libra

Has life failed us…
Or have we in turn,
Failed life?
Ponder this,
My inebriating logic,
Before you jump
From your cliff of conclusions,
Formed from broken hopes
And scattered dreams…
Dreams that can, 
If the dreamer has patience,
Be reshaped and molded
Into something far more exotic,
Far more exquisite
Then you had ever dared
To imagine the first time around.

I for one tend to think,
That perhaps…
Perhaps we’re to blame
For the assumptions made,
As if life was a right
That we are owed
And not the privilege it truly is.

Senseless deeds,
Will always and forever
Confuse the sensible,
For who would truly wish
To understand
The twisted remnants
Of logic that the doers of these deeds
Might have left remaining?
Not I…
I will never understand,
Nor will I choose to attempt
Such a fruitless activity as that.

Every fallen angel,
Every act of destruction…
Merely proof of mankind’s
Abandonment of life.

We are the Judas;

Yet no amount of silver
Will ever buy back 
What we are betraying.
