Distortion

I'm walking down these worn and weary roads Full of heartbroken souls and hoppin' toads And I've been told there is a place for us all Once tyranny falls The skies are bleak and black The roads are tarnished and cracked A forgotten legacy of a time long passed Which we struggle to look past The tornadoes tore through the city Showing not even the elderly any pity Rich or homeless they all died the same In nature's greatest shame So I'm walking down these roads alone Wondering if we'd have time to atone For the things we've done in this life When it's been riddled with tears and strife I'm just one among the lost and lonely But perhaps the worst part is knowing they're not the only Ones giving in to the sadness and disease This is a reality that only death can ease (Me, Circa 2014)
