Fallen Leader

The intoxication of guilt is laid Upon the headstone of the lost guide Who dreams the dream of disillusion Forever missing to the weary of hope In a swallow, the syrup is gone We cry the cry of battle fatigue Waiting for one more word Waiting for one last ritual  One more step  One more seed Diversity’s quest for growth Becomes smothered By the choking roots of adaptability Leaving little room for nonsense  As though it never existed  Through the worm ridden dirt The guide still holds the staff Its subdued flame turns to smoke  Leaving residue upon the seeds Leading to its coffin
