Me Against The World

I am a soul without companion, me, myself, and I alone
The sanctum of my mind the only place that I can call home
In the darkness of my oblique and silent eternity
I am waiting for the clarity of wakefulness to return to me
I am utterly alone in my self imposed solitude
Wishing that I could float through life like the clouds do
I rage against the bleakness of a common mind set
The war I rage has lasted for millenia not counted yet
I am at war with all the vices of the simple humanity
Raging against the soldier implements of its machinery
My weaponry is not conceived by the mind of man
I am general, captain, and soldier in an army of one man
I flicker through the days of fading amber sunlight
And slink swiftly through the darkness of fierce midnight
I am alone except for the constant battles I wage
The years have gone by with no account for age
My soul, is burning, burning, burning from within
A life buried in death, deceit, and mortal sin
Gaze at me, and look into my burning eyes
For that is where the reason for this war resides
My soul is locked in this hated, God forsaken case
My intelligence a travesty, the brilliance a total waste
The stunted growth of an entire populations intelligence
Hours of moronic distraction invade and infect every residence
The bloodshed tells the tale of all that I wish to annihilate
But the conflict has no end in site, how long will this take?
I am alone in this war, the weight I hold impossible to share
The tilting scales silently shift the load I bare
Allies are nowhere to be found on this desolate field
My strength is failing my arm drops this heavy shield
Now naked to the world is my vulnerable frame
Soul engulfed by the secrets of ravenous flame
There is not one among the masses with whom I can share my pain
The greater part of my mind is sliding towards the insane
Slowly I feel my strength ebb and fade away
I can feel the embrace of Death calling me to the grave
But yet and still I hack and savage my way through
This is all I know, the only thing I can possibly do
But there is a simple question I have for you:
When in the world will this war be through?
