Torment [June 8, 2016]A Poem by Dillan CourtrightThe rain falls from clouds of misery Painting the world in mists of agony Creating oceans of darkening decay The world is lost under skies of fate
Slowly the world drowns in it’s fears As each day passes, so do the years Holding corpses of the ones they held dear In shades of gray, they shed their crimson tears
The plague spreads with fires of torment One by one, as they fall, more fall to regret Too many to bury, they cremate and neglect The depression builds, it snaps, pain becomes too immense
They charge at its heart, severing arteries They break it's walls, shattering its memories Stabbing and tearing, they kill treachery As everything crumbles, so do the centuries
Now all is quiet, the world laid to waste So it can all be rebuilt, in a land of peace Men, women and children, all has been torn and broken To break them away, to show what couldn't be spoken
Hand in hand, they walk from a war of regret A world so cold and empty, all must be rebuilt For they couldn't take anymore of this pain and neglect All had to perish, to free the lives of the oppressed © 2017 Dillan Courtright |
