The walls of the world shrink. From pillars made from rows of teeth, closing in with bloody incisors
The flesh we've gnawed off our own limbs hangs strangled between our fangs. Cold bloodthirst in the murder of religious literacy.
Words run out of their lasting narration. Reality unravels with a perceived pointless drivel-
None regret;
All must suffice
Or whatever else.
We are but a letter written in praise of its sender; every brushstroke of ink the identity lavishing a message; make-shift gods of a renunciation from our own illustration.
There is no resolve in the sealing of its enclosure, resolute only in that there is no making right what is presently wrong;
Consequences making themselves abundantly clear - reeling a trio of three ugly heads in the twist of its neck from their backs.
Unyielding, we are propelled ahead of ourselves - forced to adhere to the future implications of turning ourselves away from rebuking
What nothing could have prepared us from reaping
For how we have failed one another
And for how we've failed ourselves, if nothing else.

Failing ourselves the precursor to failing others and nothing worse. A good write
Pay attention to "And for how we've failed ourselves". It isn't an either or situation.
We fail in bits and pieces seldom all at once
