Bloody Pages
Muffled voices in steely cages.
Misty streets filled with dirges.
Blameless names on bloody pages,
young or old, folks of all ages.
A mighty hand that wields violence
swayed the blade of ripping turbulence.
Not even the voice of silence
could escape the pestilence.
A tale of morbid fascination
brought echoes of adoration,
wrapped in fervent admiration;
praised in songs of deep devotion.
A silver screen laced with brutality
echoes the tune of monstrosity.
The slay of morality
brought the dawn of fierce mortality.
A heart that longs for peace
calls for the kill to cease,
but her voice could hardly please
the mighty ears that are seem at ease.
