The Sacrifice

At the end of it all
We stand transparent
Destroying the burden
To sustain
Leaving no piece
To remain
The dead never leave
They live on in what they conceive
What was born in our time
Will not be mourned or unwind
Unfit we are
You’ve shared your worth
So we could receive
What we did not deserve
A debt you will bear
A cost to be shared
As a living sacrifice
Spliced from our lives
Endowed to those who shared their worth
So we could partake in what we did not deserve
