As all we've fought for has exploded at the seams
Will we hold steadfast in the face of the enemy?
Or will we squander what little is left of our sanity?
Safety has deserted me beyond my reach
Mother, when will you begin to practice what you preach?!
It seems like those who fight never grow ale
But I don't want to live in darkness and stay pale
Will we ever step down away from vanity?
Or will we stay encompassed in the gift of our profanity?
I keep asking though I know the won't be any answes
Deep inside I feel the rupture of fading sensors
Deserting all I thought I had known
I walk into the unknown....

Ave, glad to see a new one.
You've laid out the brilliantly posed questions.
And I'm sure you do have the answers worked out somewhere within your mind.
Great write.

It seems cohesive enough to me, but what do I know?! Anway, "I feel the rupture of fading sensors" is captivating phrasing. Wonderful write! Cheers!
