Embrace

My God
What have we done to ourselves?
Abandoned ourselves to be beaten down
by our own fears
Crushed by the weight of our own
useless guilt
Trampled by the perpetually marching boots
worn by the soldiers of selfishness
By what whim of our self-destructive deity are we endlessly executed for the crime never committed
Eternally blinded by our futile fight to vanquish fictitious foes
Far too stubborn to see that silent surrender is our only surefire salvation
Infinite liberation
Unleashed by a single, unsolicited
Human embrace
