Requiem For the Masses

ages of death, past deeds done corridors of history,we beat our drums yesterday's blood, washes our hands armies we march, bring out the band we carry sorrows, for all mankind they run through our veins, crawl like vines tomorrow we say, we'll find peace reality is, death always feasts bright expectations, a promised ring nothing but war, it's what man's heart sings greed and corruption, food for his soul blood flows from his hands, calloused and cold struts through the ages, death is his quest pounds two fists, upon his chest I am here, he screams, for all worlds to hear looks to Heaven with disgust and sneers man is sick, hate in his heart cripples his soil, all its part tomorrow extinction, he'll be no more a blemish on nature, an open sore hope is surpreme, last minute stay from all the evil committed this day some cry out, save us our fate cry never heard, it came too late ashes remain, to cover man's face nature begins anew, let them state their case 12/28/15

Selfishness and greed abound, and thus leads to war. Your words ring true~"hate in the heart cripples the soul." Well done, Frederic.
