Death In June

are you close to
or far from your conscience?
as the petals of life
decay
ignorance is bliss
the sad remiss
to the clarion call
of today
(see how it burns)
but, we struggle in wyrd with amusement
and, contempt for all that holds
sway
are you close to
or far from your conscience?
is the question I ask
today
(see how they run)
kameradschaft!
are you close to
or far from your conscience?
as their reason for life
fades away
petty beliefs - petty platitudes
all ring hollow day
