[ Doubt ]

What abyss is there?

In anything but doubt?

Fleeting in it’s hold

As I am but less devout

While only mind can hear

Unless it’s spoke aloud

Just a shadow in a thought

Needing heed for it’s surmount

392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDQa5mt5YL

Distance, separation

Maybe that is where it’s held

Where truth has been abandoned

And all of hope is but dispelled

Where love is but a word

Oh so easily withheld

That we form into militias

To wage in war as we rebel

392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXCdxN0TCE

Tyranny, it calls

To be our propaganda

To tell us who we are

Until we’ve grown into a slander

The rules that they expel

Are like chains we couldn’t handle

And when the flag waves in the sky

We salute to our commander

392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDjyMRuhi8

The sins of our fathers

The allegiance to a master

So abused by its act

We’ve found comfort in disaster

So amused by the pact

That war’s become our capture

Life so easily expelled

All existence is in a fracture

392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Fp27gJaz

Canyons opened up

To the corruption of a cistern

Poison is the water

Yet we drink it as an intern

Burning who we are

Until we’re reduced to a cinder

Shaming us from love

Until all we are is a sinner

392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikhhe81xFP

Left within a cavern

No means for our escape

This darkness overbearing

Blinding us in hate

We wanted something else

Yet our dreams have seemed to fade

Till all that’s left is doubt

With no hope for anything

392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwOSIU5qMe

A simple cause to question

To steal your will of life

To keep you veiled from seeing

Refraining you from sight

To keep in fear of freedom

So you will never fight

For life is far more worthy

When you’re basking in the light

392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRDhWr0QNx

We have all been charged

To be held to an account

Convinced to fear the sentence

In how our burdens will amount

But if truth will bring us freedom

Then we cannot do without

For there is not a verdict

In anything but doubt
