Pillar of Salt

Post by Beowulf »

Pillar of Salt

These cauterizing flames
Seal off our unwavering past
And though these fading memories evoke the sterilizing fires
Verily, they attest to our mortal steppes
Justifying our exodus as the inferno descends upon our shoulders
And in the midst of Sodom
We are prodded onwards with gilded swords
And humanity is punished for its credulousness
But fear not, nay, indeed, love the ones gone before
For despite the fiery scars etched upon our hearts
They are our pillars
Look back, my pillar of salt.

Seal off our unwavering past
And though these fading memories burn like sterilizing fires
They attest to our mortal steppes
Justifying our exodus
As the inferno descends upon our shoulders

And in the midst of Sodom
We are prodded onwards with gilded swords
As humanity is punished for her credulousness
But fear not, nay, love the ones gone before
For despite the fiery scars they etch upon our hearts
They are our pillars
Look back, my pillar of salt
