Current Life
The days have grown long and cold
Time has aged with my soul
Uneventful
Pain stays the same
While the surroundings change
Wake up in a new place
Creatures line up in cages
Greed swallowing them whole
As people walk by with no eyes
Blinded by greed and lust
The beauty that once was
Turns to ashes and dust
A child’s innocents locked up
Starving them to succeed
As death covers the streets
