The Ancients Speak on Suicide

Daedalus deep in his cups owns this  

grief that always embraces the beautiful  

lie over the ugly truth is my hubris  

martyred him not his ego or ignorance  

of no consequence now we spin doctor  

create a palatable myth push aside  

Pilate to wash our bloody hands of it  

history is easier to deceive  

than death the truth is out there but who will  

admit they are guilty as sin seems so  

easy to escape just keep telling the same  

I told you so and so story until  

the lie is a Phoenix of memories that returns 

As the prodigy drowns in burning water.
