Burning winds over bleeding skies,

Words of hate,razor sharp lies,

Massacres and shady dreams,

All life broken at the seams,

Blood drained from split veins,

From morbid hunger pains,

Shapely scars and wounding strife,

All one ever gets from life.

Searing pain and burning tears,

Strange thoughts and irrational fears,

Bruised soul and twisted heart,

Always being torn apart,

Spirit and body beat and battered,

All hope lost and shattered,

Stinging eyes and numb fingers,

Though faith in life still lingers,

Stripped of all happiness and light,

Struggles to live and fight,

Life is over and done,

Looks like the fight is won.
