I watched the moon wane and glow, saw the sun
Glint on it’s edge and start to show
My life, a dim remembrance, a past undone
Shows me deceit, sorrow, despair, unknown
The joy of children in the face of hate
Shows no mercy, no hope, and no loving.
Which always is, always was, how we relate
To those who always continue hating.
And through all this we’ll never be aware
What’s behind the face of hate, and of wit.
Or behind that blind face which does not care
We have all seen it, felt it, all been it.
We have all seen the face, it does not bend.
We have all been the face, we are the end.
