All In Vain

moonlit tears darkness born fears moving at the speed of terror hatred consumed minds throw faces into fire heating the misery in all who see one more night we'll make it til light hopeful minds holding tight hate and rage thrown to tame the "beasts" screaming to live another down without a sound silent screams heard faintly mist of death fires of hate burning weak bones that fall innocence crushed and victimized un-just souls stand tall blood covered vows to take beyond now crisis remembered in hopes of no return head counts still remain and hatred continues to gain again again again again genocide reigns hopes to remember knowings to prevent all lived in vain
