Doomed
Water
Flows uphill, past
Meaningful nothing's gate
Washing Happy City’s wall, dead
Planting gloom in its stead
The land
In happy ignorance, dances
To sadness' enchanting tunes
Dry waters
Penetrates Calm’s soil
In its bed, fertile
Poking scrawny fingers
Finding Joy's seat
Takes it
Happiness’ bed
Rapes her dead
Oh! Success' groom
Sadness bloom!
Smiles
Sails to tearful land
Hiding behind cargoes of tears unshed
The land
Bustles with sorrowful activities
As dry ocean let loose its murky aromatic waters.
