The Reasoning - Prey for Nothing

A thousand smiling faces

Could not hold back your tears

Perpetual indifference

To the brunt held by your peers

Understanding what it’ll cost

Your perspective is forever lost

These excuses will exhaust

Even you, my fingers are crossed

This is my grand reasoning

This is how I welcome the end

You swing a terrible truth

Much like an axe

Hoping to chop down

The forest of facts

I now understand

What we must do on our own

A yoke made of iron

We’ll reshape to a throne

This reasoning is engraved

With the verses of conquering words

This reasoning is what we have

We are left to our own accord

There were no spoils of war to be shared

Yet you horded the loot that we spared

You cannot claim a title that needs to be earned

And this is the lesson you refuse to learn

So take your sluggard decree

That smeared your own name

Back to the place where we started

Before this campaign

Holding a bittersweet grudge

That would smother your flame

This reasoning judge

You got only yourself to blame
