In the search for atonement
Will the guilty find solace trapped in misery while fate
Eludes them any chance?

The blast from the past has landed
Opening a can of worms seeking retribution
For lost souls running helter skelter
In search for peace

Their senile minds gone limbo
Engulfed in penance
Destiny denies them any chance of redemption
To go back for a restart &
A second chance of getting their deeds right.
