Stories of promise


There is no one that answers
only stories of promise
from a lost truth that long ago died
though the truth is still calling
I still feel like I'm falling
with so many reasons to lie.

The truth never prospers
only those that would use it
to burn down their cities in flames
and all that was honest
…for a life always tainted
and headstones for those whom bore names.

Though the wheels keep on turning
still no one is learning
repeating the same errors each day
the sunrise once honest
is all but abolished
and for the sins of our fathers… we'll pray.
