Life


Out in the middle of nowhere

there's an open cavern

of dispare and loneliness

where flames of anger and hatred

lap at the ankles of abandond morals

when a glimmer of happines is detected

the crushing smoke of jelousy snuffs it out

everyday new souls are sacrificed

into this bottomless pit

there is no way to escape 

so it is best to accept the impending doom

and hope that the demise reached by one 

is better than that of another
