One will burn

[rubyredstained]

Instincts that can still betray us
A journey that leads to the sun
Soulless and bent on destruction
A struggle between right and wrong
You take my place in the showdown
I'll observe with a pitiful eye
I'd humbly ask for forgiveness
A request well beyond you and I

An abyss that laughs at creation
A circus complete with all fools
Foundations that lasted the ages
Then ripped apart at their roots
Beyond all this good is the terror
The grip of a mercenary hand
When savagery turns for good reason
There's no turning back, no last stand

Existence, well what does it matter?
I exist on the best terms I can
The past is now part of my future
The present is well out of hand

Just feeling broody because my friend's family went through something so horrible.

Don't worry, I won't stop eating.

Good. I'm very good at force-feeding. I raised two toddlers who liked food only on the walls.

And you could always do hand puppets. I think that could get me to do anything.
