Final Plea
(Tribute to my original poem "Flames and Ashes")
Ashes fall where hope once stood,
Ruins mask what once was good.
Bridges burn and homes collapse,
Trapped inside a nightmare's trap.
No life survives the shell
They say "A soul must rot in Earth's Hell"
The carnage reigns, the price is deep
The nations bleed while tyrants reap
The sky is choked with dust and rust,
In concrete graves, we place our trust.
The missiles scream, the heavens shake,
The ground will split, the earth will break.
Through crimson smog, the engine roars,
Bled behind heavy doors.
The daylight dies, the air is thin,
Breathe in the ash, let the poison win.
A final plea, the wires snap
The world crumbled in its traps
I lost my soul, I failed the toll
To bury what broke us whole
