...Tainted memories

By SolApathy

Into the lies of mirrors told
Beckons the falsehoods of memories bold
Lies unfettered become buried deep in time
Transforming into a truth unkind
Banners raised and war called to cause
All on a memory so deeply flawed
Into battle words are thrown
Becoming quickly the broken bone
Soon to pass as bullets fly past
Striking the innocent of lies carelessly passed.

    I agree with worm. Reading this kind of sated that urge I've had for heavy and dark.

    one thing, after reading your authors note... history is written by the conquerors not the conquered... so history itself is always flawed...
