Toast To The Gods



Arose to the flaws,
In default,
We fault.

We fault the world,
Like many men who fought the wars,
This same kind of war.

Many years before,
There was a handful of love,
Then fears began to summon our courage.

Some lost it to the waist of drunk women,
Some had it in the palms of their tongue.

It was laying flat,
All that could be put in place to achieve peace.
