Reruns

bright orange explosion waking the mind
brings one back to a more dangerous time
haunted gaunt face of starving, frightened child
the chilling results of egos gone wild

thick black smoke of a village on fire
outcomes from authoritarian ire
now chaos surrounds with nowhere to run
but a sociopath's version of fun

decay and mayhem is all that there be
not with eyes but mind at times forced to see
shivering tremors brought on by a dream
fear not the result of what may be seen

bad behavior taken to nth degree
making remembrance the reality
