Chaos
The bodies have begun to pile
the stench of death grips the air,
no more can innocence find shelter
as the structure of humanities wall
Crumble into chaos
Nations strike the heart of the East
Boom ! Again and again and again,
still corpses pile up rotting in streets
as peace finds herself slipping away
Piece by bloody peace
Strangers weep for sisters and brothers
a bond not of blood, but unified grief,
we seek to find reason in a maelstrom
we search soul less eyes for compassion
finding only empty vessels
Hardened by a retoric of brainwashed lies
they've become monsters of suicide
the boogie man under the bed but now
hes sighting the streets in plain view,
She or He ? But WHO ?
Fear has found a home in innocent hearts
children of the night gather trembling,
Knowing not where the next bullet
or bomb or missile will finally strike home
Stealing infinities breathe
I dream of listless easy days
when nightmares came only to dream,
and a light of the purest innocence
rests unsullied on the heart humanity
Hate is breed into humanity
Its time to replace those genes
