Parlous Pardon

parlous path of life watch every step it could undertake your soul to conclusion
delirious mankind ashy reality awake new nightmares death toll desired allusion
love requires more exertion effortlessly solved if selfish human desires opposed
apathy needs renovation altruistically resolved hate vanquished war foreclosed
*
empathetic demon deserving death living chains persists confinement
God of mercy blind to war men forgiven yet suicide has no atonement
soldiers ambitious of peace mantled in war sleep reveals encumbrance
schizophrenic screams from souls we keep pardon without deliverance
