Ring Of Truth - Humanist, Carl Hancock Rux

This is how I come to you

Through cloying puss of death

Time of new rebellion

Above the dark river cue

The night behind us beckons

There is but one window through

Which to know our darkness

War is all I’ve ever known

Eternal peaceful grave

Men must always work and die

Become each other’s slave

Stretch open to me

Open to me

War is all I’ve ever known

No one knows except you

How to make me brighten

I walk on coral bound

Etching floor underside

Submersing to a flashing blue

Knowing you’re by my side

Mountain’s fires burn

Making narrow ledges

Working toward an underway

Heavy ripe growth in sedges

Stretch open to me

Open to me

Crawling low as python root

Across the hill we deadline

War is all I’ve ever known
