at where you at
do you ever wonder

how things might turn
had we ever not
sacrificed for the world

it to end
its promises,
(promises),
its promises,

end to its beauty and temptation,
end to its Retaliation,

and to its battlefield,
of the wounded, the revenging,
the angels, and the wrath of others,
before you

would you then wander, wander to wherever
would you then change, change to start to ponder ?

oh, would you then care ?
oh, would you then care,
if end comes the world,
before your breath could even falter ?
if end comes the world,
before your breath

you
and i
and them
and the others
are not so much like their wishes
are not so much like the rest

we
are alike
are not alike
are what they seem
are mere
are waiting

waiting

for the awakening
of youth, of age
of agelessness
of the opening of sin
and forgiveness of pain and suffering
of punishment and reward

and of the day
the day things change,
change to resist, change to exist

and of the day
the day things change,
the day things cease,

the day things cease
