facefully [ fall from grace]
By sIo
grace-bound by innocence
and we fall from haven
stone cold in reverence
by default and denial
headstones and grave robbers
make for nameless authors
with which we write volumes
upon tainted soil
wherein lies the aononymity
of warless life. abhorred
by fearless killers
what of this life to steal
may we wear upon our vest
sleeveless eyes show
no apathy in the name
of respect. such children
we have become
and to this we owe
no penance. for the crimes
we have ingested, of our own
pleasure
with much greatness
there comes the fall from grace.
