Deathland

Rising steam from the ashen face,
		cast a shadow on the human race,
	In deadly darkness the night did soak,
	with the horrid stench of the devils cloak,
		head of evil, skull is the wreath,
		the air is full of fear, the fear of death,
	The world is ruled with a staff in the hand,
	the sea is dry 'n' theres blood in the sand,
		there is no way to leave this dreary landscape,
		from the deathland theres no escape............

You said it! There is lots of fear in the world these days, even to a fear of the world ending, determined by some Mayan examining chicken bones many hundreds of years ago. Congrats on the selection. daver

thanks for your comment, there is indeed a lot of fear, real and perceived, and that is the root cause of all violence that we see around us..its sad
