With honor ignobled
And courage defamed,
With decency comatose
Fleeing the fray,
We kindle the spark of
A baser emotion
With unlighted candles
Leading the way.
How does it build in
Contemptible measure
To seek out the center
And lend it to change?
Where does it find the
Inferior being
And tempt it awaken,
To rise and derange
All the commonplace senses
To indecency?
Setting the Devil
Inside of us free.
Fighting a war of
Perpetual motion,
Seeking to rise above
Baser emotion.
