Child

The door- unhinged.
The walls battered
The ceiling singed
The windows shattered.

Amongst the ruin- the truth- hidden
Somewhere in the decay
Shrouded in a world of lies- truth forbidden.
A single child caught in the fray
Awaken the night
Awaken the day
Awaken the world.

Fire in his eyes
No origin- no surprise.
Bloodied fists, bloodied hands
The fire burning
He stays where he stands.

Engulfed in flame
The child- unstirring
For him all is the same

In a world of lies where truth be unknown
Death will arise twice as fast as life will be sewn.

The child- our God.
His house- our World.
His pain- our fault.

"I've never seen a race so intent on its own destruction"

I couldn't agree more.


Rest in peace-
Planet Earth.
