Within the Looking Glass: Part One

-BROKEN/STAINED-- My blood seeps from open wounds...The image once there-- not mine/no-longer appears...There's a voice that cries out--WEEPS/SOBS... It is never heard...-HIDDEN a face--always smiling--HAPPINESS???a smile-- within--happiness don't exist... They said a lot of things--LIES!!! They made a lot of promises--BROKEN!!! And to see the way it is--there's no stopping it now... It has become too--OUTRAGES!!! And there is no-where to run--no-where to hide... There is no--SALVATION!!! And only in time-- will it all fall...for--DEATH--is the cradle...DEATH--she stands-- ARMS OPENED... Nobody really realizes--the destruction they have bestowed...Nobody notices they created a--catalyst catastrophe...They turn their heads and look the other way... They hold their heads down--SHAME/FEAR!!! For they know they could have prevented this--SICKNESS... this--PAIN/HATE...and it is us, those after, whom SUFFER!!! It is us, they--BLAME!!!
