Day’s end

Will we all fade together then -
	when the day lies broken at our feet,
		and the hearts of all the true believers
			have turned to dust in the low light of sunset?

Will we weep blood, and favor sin,
	when the dark dreams of hatefulness
		come full circle to lead us into the pale paths of a new purity;
			one unbound, and unbridled by the rules of God!

Will we seek something beyond ourselves -
	Hoping all at once for some insight into insanity?	
		Or shall we hope to find some secret truth to save ourselves -
some way to build ourselves back
	into some semblance of civilization?

Will we wander through the wasted land -
	taking truth inside ourselves instead of sharing it?
		Or will we work to bring salvation 
	into the sights of our children - 
			seeking to recover hearts and minds 
	in some future now unseen!
