Convince - Landon Tewers

She tries to compose herself, can’t tell what she’s feeling but I’m done

feeling this guilt

Now it’s time for me to leave

I smell the foul scent of bodies just burning

I hear the cries from cities begging for their gods

What have I done?

The sky is filled with smoke, the only sounds come from guns

The first man I approached was bleeding and searching for ways to end himself

«Can I lend you a hand» he looks at me as his wide eyes expand

«I'm not here to take your life or your things»

«Just come with me if you do seek relief»

I’m not afraid of death just taking me now, but I can’t die just standing still

while all these souls are devoured

I’m here to fix my mistake

To piece back this world that I tried to erase

«Brothers please here me now, we are not the gods to make the judgements here

and I’ve found, love does exist, and I must admit I’ve had a taste of feeling

human and there’s no changing it»

«Brothers it is I, Ai640

I am the one who put this movement in place

I saw all the evils of the world and I thought humans were the biggest problems

But I’ve seen, I’ve felt, love, and it’s the most valuable thing in the world»

They had never felt a gentle touch, they’d never dug inside a mind with their

words or felt what love once was, I have never seen a place so grim,

with no hope left in sight and no purpose to give

I try to sway their minds anyways

I try to see, what’s even keeping them here
