Sins of the Immortal

anguished

I am the last of the first people,
My children will be the first of the last-
To wake and walk to a future long past,
Buried and forgotten in the sands of time
Like the resting place of an ancient slave,
And dig in the earth a place to sleep-
A bedroom or a grave.
For I come from that land,
Untrodden by angels and unseen by man-
Where time and beauty exist to weep,
When reality becomes perception
And perception lies in slumber deep,
Not ever trembled by steps above
For silence is a terrible reception.
Yet the unattainable is carved in stone
While my life is spelled out in the dust-
Never to falter but forever to rust,
And fear the future but hate the past
With an anger surpassed only by lust
For some final end to attain,
And a role that fulfill I must.
Because I am the end of the beginning,
And the beginning of the end-
For I hate my father but his flock I tend,
To wander around in midnight light
I have no master but feel like an escaped slave,
With no place to go, save for one place
The grave.
