The Pyre

We live for the moments of lust, pleasure
And then choose our forms of regret
We extinguish the fires of faith
With every choice to regurgitate
Our apologies that we never make
Watch as the generations show
How they resent us
Watch as they burn inside with hate
While we offer up our young
As the unblemished lambs
As OUR greatest sacrifice
We wonder why our sacrifices
Never make our gods satisfied
And why must our children die
And every succeeding generation
Feels the need to retaliate
Lost generations
Idols of worship
Idolatry your fate
