Hell Above Ground

This is where Hell begins... The sun darkening The smell of rot. The wall of life flaming up The burning Center, Of all things ignored. This is where Hell opens: Air and water poisoned Human freedom is buried under shattered skulls Keep death away from ourselves? Men, women and children, bleeding from the core Lying still like crumpled shadows. Will we live to see the light of day? When a gun is hung over our heads, Tears, like drops of wax, flow from our eyes Running....Screaming....Crying The night was gone. Who will save us? This is where the excuses stop. The wall of life will not -pause- To weep for us.
