Analysis of Apologize Now
It is wise to inquire about
correctness to save
yourself from a senseless death
Instead of only being known
by words that impress
Each other's flesh
Like dust that covers
The motionless that stands still
frozen in place
And in fear we blame
The ghost that never did exist
but we needed to sound believable
so we pinned the ghost to the scene
to hide the truth.
Only the illogical thinker
Will continue in the quest
Of being wrong
So that words would be said
That all was right
And the end will not
Need a confession
To the reasons
Why it died
Because death has nothing
Good to remember
But the spirit will not
Let the soul rest
and in hell
will keep it alive
until it remembers all the sins
it has done.
So go ahead and apologize now.
