To love and be silent.
Provider,
Let us bury our dead.
My expression did not change.
And I incline my head,
As if in prayer,
For our kings are gods.
That is considerable true.
Death blossoms.
Pagan idols and darkness.
Old age and blindness and madness.
Nihilism and justice.
Order and confusion.
Loyalties and lovers.
Dead sisters and dead brothers.
Redemption and divine love.
We will love and be silent.
With unaccommodated wisdom.
Naked unsheltered redemption.
Unnatural diseases.
Divorced from all humanity.
I will love and be silent.
Trial and error.
Flame and terror.
Final death and defeat.
Graveyard weekend retreats.
You will love and be silent.
Unattentative waif.
Universal order.
Self interested heathen,
Undeserving of offspring.
We will love and be silent.
I need to lose some weight.
I am consumed by hate.
I need to lose myself.
I am in your heart shaped coffin.
I will love and be silent.
Apologies in eulogies.
Gods cold breath in the winter.
With his might wisdom.
Peace friend peace.
I will love and be silent.
Absurd from the beginning.
Mad at the ending.
Modernised and clean.
With a golden ring noose.
I will love and be silent.
Now she sings with seraphin.
Now he burns with war criminals.
