-
Tears cloud my vision..
Stain the crystal blue of my angelic eyes, as I stand alone in the damp and cold
Shrouded by the cloak of darkness I tremble in fear
Haunted by the shadows of the past,
Lost in the vastness of the grim future.
I mourn the loss of humanity
Watch what is left of the world destroyed
Watch as thieves take to the vacant streets like filthy rats--
Running from unseen monsters,
Which only turn out to be their very own shadows
I watched the golden towners burn--
Saw them crumble to the ground like castles made of sand...
I heard the silent pleas for forgiveness as the dying lie screaming in the streets
"Forgive me Father, for I have sinned!"
What has this world come too?
--The world ceased to be today--
Along with my petty hopes and dreams
So violently was it tatterd by tyrants and corrupted politicans who dared call themselves Gods
Together they buried it in a shallow grave
The Keeper of the Kingdom was theonly one to bear the monstrosity any witness--
A facade of stone was all he could muster
The only justice served was engraved on a headstone
Placed ever so precariously on the edge of my sanity--
It read only these words:
"Here lies a great nation--
Forever to stand alone in silent desperation."
