Aged Gods

In fear of the unhappiness to come,
do we all choose to be unhappy now?
Suppose this is all we know:
the tears of our mother,
the blood that swabs us clean.
Ruins
in the gawk of the gods, and I espoused
doom in the shadows.
It's in the epicenter of our minds.
We take a lonely path
through the boulevard of the aged gods.
Beneath the darkest sky, the corpse still asks
why we always flee when death comes to feast.
I go singing, a wreck,
down the road of the aged gods.
Who will be the last to die in the land where cadavers cry?
Who will be the last to remain when it's only god and pain?
There is nothing greater than the voices from the grave.
Only they can tell us why.
Only they will never lie about the reason
we stand rotten
in the road to the aged gods.
