Kuro San

A village of uncertainty Where life is as unsure as tomorrow Building and streets have been battered As the air and stream have turned bad Echoes and cries are now silence So that stillness have become strange and unusual Arms are now woods and plastics So that guilty children will become monsters Death is everywhere here It is their breakfast, lunch and supper With Causes living in paradise It is submitted that it is unfair As new genes have been lost The future will continue to be dark With evil, hatred and conspiracy still thriving In Kuro San this will never end.
