Eyes of May

These eyes of May See all everywhere, Everyday, Vomiting tears of vengeance. Death, destruction, and damnation... Make them sick They glance for hope Only to blink in dismay This world of corruption Cannot stand on the rotting morals Drunk on ignorance It will crumble as their faith did Perhaps you are blind By decision or denial Inaction the reaction Darkness is all that awaits These eyes of May... Just like them Blue faded Lighter shades of grey None are free of judgement Not you, Not I, Not even God... Set it all ablaze Ash fallen into circles of grey Just like these eyes of May.
