Reconciling Idol Pursuits!

Cavalier tears bleed
within callous hearts,
undaunted by regret

Mighty men of valor
who sustain life's brutality
amidst shadowed fortresses

Leaving behind momuments
of stone that silhouette
fabrications of subtleness

A heritage of fools
beguiled by enchantment
without truth

Succumbing to egotistical
judgements of a status quo,
spawned in hypocrisy and deceit

Descending unto generations,
probability of apocalyptic
effects

irreversible in cycles of humanity
except by divine intervention,
preordained by destinies muse
