A Tear Fights His Way Through Desolation

a tear fights his way through desolation
the purple summer flower is snapped
hope expired to memorial
green fields are hermetically sealed
mud splashes fouling soft cheeks
the worst in humanity has been reached
childhood dreams buried by cruelty
salt burns painful in bleeding wounds
monsters shuffling around
nailing hard steel in bare walls
behind the scenes reigns vipers
ruthless sounds die away in the cosmos

A tear fights his way through desolation. The worst of humanity has been reached. Childhood dreams buried by cruelty. Ruthless sounds die away in the cosmos. These are beautiful words that speak the truth. Thanks for sharing this beauty... Lucilla
