The Decline

I gaze upon the world Viewing all its pain I see the homeless children In clothes drenched from the rain The rain of tears that fall From my saddened eye As I turn my gaze downward Never glancing at the sky The sky is dark and gloomy And the clouds are very grey The sun no longer shines For it is a cursed day The day when families break apart When hate reigns lord of all From heights of peace and beauty Humanity did fall It fell into the depths With every selfish cry Love fell away to ruin And sighing, seemed to die Love seemed to pass away And it was never missed To betray one another Was the only time we kissed My words are coming true As daylight turns to night The world is wrapped in greed And it’s such an ugly sight
