All cheered and hailed
When the priest revealed the signs ordained
For the world’s savior to come
After the noise, a silence was abrupt
All heads turned towards the young man who shouted
« We failed! We failed! We failed ! »
People urged him to shush but he ignored their plead
And the priest exclaimed: “Allow him to speak!”
It’s then when the young man rose from his seat
He leaped in frenzy from bench to bench
Holding a knife to his right hand
And made it to where the priest stands
When face to face the priest cried
And called for the help of the cop at first line
Who immediately fired towards the young man’s chest
The latter didn’t put much of a fight
And left on the wall a perpendicular scratch
Where now it reads: “In Gold we trust”

Behold what you abhor
A monster of your own creation
 It has broken off a soft shell
Once warmed by the wings of love
Witness the downfall of your human conception   
Driven by the hate of a kin
A fate miswritten by a loose pen
Left to roam in dark corridors of your selfish heart
Infamous labyrinth of broken promises

Phoenix

Not for anyone to understand and not for one time to descend
O weird looking bird continuously failing to ascend
Roam this earth to your hearts’ content
Mystic creature, miserable by its own demise
Again you’ll get to fly and above them all you’ll rise
Let go of your ego to burn and be reborn once again
I once saw your house burn to the ground
Amidst the ashes you rose and simply walked around
Moon and sun mark the boundaries of your mundane world
Not for one time to ascend and not for anyone to understand
On bones it was decreed and through your blood it’ll be fulfilled  
Thousand deaths for a life that has no beginning and no end
