Aftermath

Hole in the sky
      where the blood drips
an oasis of pain
songs rise up from the ground(high again)
      angels 
fight on the head of a 
       pin
our world rotates on 
       it's axis(as always)
Needless strife and
        sorrow persist
Thousands walk 
         the streets
Sex for love or money
        lights dark fires within
        the multitude is 
composed of many pieces
        jigwaw puzzled on 
the carpet
        waiting to be finished
