worldwide guilt of the 21st century

something inside endlessly screeches

demanding to be freed

and allowed to wreak havoc.

the twisted, wrongful guilt we question

is everlasting

just as we believe love to be.

the something we refuse to understand

and only ever glimpse

cannot be seen as a friend.

it will forever encourage silence within your blackened heart

and weigh several thousands upon the world's caged, passionate hope.

at some point we will discover the importance

of what we constantly avoid

but must face almost entirely always.

Fin.
