Our World
This is a world of slaughter, a timeless cycle of nothing
as the children begin to suffer and you watch them with laughter
the light from their eyes fading and fading into a hopeless fighter
and you feel the satisfaction of their souls becoming
the dust of a shattering memories and you began mocking
and yet this the work of only you, the writer
who begins the story the same, a wingless reminder
of the desperate howls of the one wo is never loving
This is your world of a red massacre, painting your sight with wine
a cry of mercy and forgiveness is not heard from their ears
the outstretched arm that is left forgotten
and my laughter begins to fill the world with the divine
of you suffering for years and years
and the children watch your world of pleasure rotten
