Black billowing smoke, the worlds on fire the blood-soaked soil is encrusted with rage a new sense of pride, to be a liar madness has come to reveal its face yet, life goes on as lovers embrace while the curtain has parted, everyone's on stage actors cry out, no one will listen ears are impervious to angry sound the players have weapons, they seek submission to create their scenes of turmoil and fears generations will pass and write of these years graveyards with statues where flowers abound 5/5/18 contest Rhyme Time 3 Blood and Fire...ABACCB

Fire, blood and bone to the Earth we are bound and shall all return when graveyards and statues are swallowed in Her fury, flowers are her shroud the stories kept in capsules buried deep under charcoal Lovers' eyes, the stage is set for Hades underground, bring me Powder Blue Skies.
