Mighty Hell

6 1 2
                                    

Empty whispers yet remain
in the dark places we disdain
Yet their intent remains
past hillside gates now broken

As winter burns and breezes sting
Spirits are left to their pondering
And if we could learn anything
we might listen to all they've spoken

Once grand wisdom walked the earth
and far greater days saw Kings' births
Once our mortal frames carried worth
and the world bore endeavors well

Now the chatter of our restless vanity
brings chaos in an utter insanity
What is gained in pointless bantering?
Why trade meager heaven for mighty hell?
