Mindless thoughts of hopeless dreams
whisked below the heavens' schemes
taken to that lonely road
of dark and screaming beasts.
Running through an open field
of sharp and cruel emotions-
bleeding hate and fear,
falling from the ocean.
Raven waters flowing strong
down the back of death's quick song
rotting flesh of civil deeds
crawling to extinction.
Sharpened swords in empty spaces
cutting through the blank, cold faces
of the generations passed-
sheer brutality.
Ticking timebombs yet of age
wound beyond a fit of rage
shatter life then blow away
like a hopeless seed.
