A World Apart



A World Apart

Is this what we have become
a world apart
Why is there this hallowed blackness
emanating from the shrinking sun
leaving all blinking 
as we wallow in the shadows

Why is your smile 
smeared with a smirk 
making all to shriek 
marvelling at the marauders 

Why the reeling smoke 
With its’ mocking reality 
taunting the future with friction 
revering the reverend reveler 
as the world reveals its’ second face
