The world has
Failed to be
A safe place
It’s innocence lost
Replaced instead with
Selfishness and despair
A barren place
Occupied by the
Damned who wander
Aimlessly ignorantly and
Painfully absent of
Even fond memories
Husks of what
They once were
Simply coldly forgotten
Content instead of
Heaping noxious travesties
Designed to fuel
Their flames of
Hopelessness upon the
Living that have
Barricaded themselves behind
The ever eroding
Walls of hope
Fear not being
One of the
Damned for those
Devastated souls do
Not read poetry
