A world without sympathy and love is ebbying away.
A World Apart
Is this what we have become
a world apart
Why is there this hallowed blackness
emanating from the shrinking sun
leaving all blinking
as we wallow in the shadows
Why is your smile
smeared with a smirk
making all to shriek
marvelling at the marauders
Why the reeling smoke
With its’ mocking reality
taunting the future with friction
revering the reverend reveler
as the world reveals its’ second face
