Absence Of Reason Poem by Mandi June

Beyond the mist and shadows
The shed of blood has ceased,
And remnants of a sacred war
Leave scornful lives decreased.

The hollow sound of absence
Weighs cold on heavy minds;
The pits of curse dredge deep within
As fear, with guilt, entwines.

For, as these bodies, still with death
Lie silent in the void,
The reasons why become obscure;
As these souls were destroyed.

The things that cannot be undone;
These crimes on fellow man,
Will haunt the ones who weep, as they
Forget how it began.
