A F'Kd Up World

man is broken and hell is earth
we are bound
burning at the core
awaiting what's next in store

my sanctum, unholy
wishes walk on your waters
tearing
across the sepluchre of time
mounting no glory nor eye

don't wait for the wings of acceptance
accepting was never the course
grab hold the shaft's new arising
leading temptations awry

on knees prey'd of redemption
sinners hung out to dry
life no longer worth living
living has laid down and died

More and more people are depressed these days. So much going on. This world sometimes isn't kind. Certain individuals make sure of that. Their mission is to create chaos and they do. Your piece reflects the reality that we are living in. There is a savior and hopefully soon their reality will be broken. Be well my friend...

There has to be a better way of living, guns don't solve problems. It starts with communication and consideration of others...this instantaneous society we have created is not working..Not many are interested in hard work or sacrifice. Thanks L xx

Gun crime and violence in America, is a nightmare. Add children into the mix, it is a Hell I would wish to remove all children from to provide them a better future. Of course, not all crime and murder is by gun, but America (and I understand Chicago highest crime rate in America) is renowned for high firearm crime rate. The deaths in schools by firearm, unheard of here. How do you think those figures could be diminished, if not eradicated? Is it at all possible? Man is the most dangerous animal in the food chain. We never evolve, we seem to become more dangerous as we progress. We are the real virus. It is enough to make an individual seek to leave their own species behind, to move to another world in another universe where life is kinder and more civilised.
