Vermis

Before an empty gaze

Stand to proclaim the end

The corrupt control and deliver fate

Bring ruin upon us

When we lie abject before them

Erode our being

Denounce the visceral

Absolve our fear

These are the depths of the repressed

Condemned to descend further

Awaken to the manifest

The air devoid of honour

Stained truth will blacken all

There is no more light

I will die before I succumb to indoctrination

Declare war

Revere; exalt

At the word of the vermin

Surrender

Weigh on the complicit

A black mark

Indelible shame

Their names to endure suffering

The judgement laid before me

It will not rest

The ground cannot be upturned

To retract the past

To bury sin

Our error will bear consequence

Misled by the spineless

Regress

Silenced by the callow

We cannot retreat

See the evil, falling dark

Hear the evil in clear warning

We dare not speak
