There is no return
Crossing the void
A world left behind
Will ne're be the same
Lumbering uncertainty
Obscurring reality
Flight undimensional
Destination calamity
Where bad is good
And wrong is right
Life is valueless
Diminished by hatred
Surrealism in country
Where killing is rampant
The law is survival
Justice, a force of arms
Chaos reigns supreme
Existence, a nightmare
Back in the world
A different universe
Nothing the same
No return, soul changed
Just trying to be
Wanting to be normal
Always the wish to talk
To meet again my comrades
Wondering about them
Once so close, inseparable
Their presence transient
A dysfunctional family
But time flies on
Procrastination by design
Unable to take account
To return to that time
Those summoned spectres
Revived from horrors
Barbarism betrays
A mother's dear son
It could not be so
The children's dad
Could not have done it
A paradox unfathomable
Gone from that world
Still tethered to a post
Running around in circles
Never catching the tail
Of what once was
Never getting ahead
Those who live are lost
A world of confusion
No one wins or loses
A maze that began
Yet will never end
Rats running a gauntlet
Crossing the void
Never to return
A mind visits hence
The inquest continues
A fractured spirit subsides
But remains yet resolute
