A world stained by hate

A world stained by hate

A Poem by Rob Santana

A world filled with darkness
Where the blind lead the insane,
Remains of charred corpses
On display throughout
the cities of the damned
We all have been stained by hate,
Embrace mankinds history
That has been written in blood

Wow, I cannot even begin to tell you how powerful this one is, Rob. You really have said so much in just 8 lines. I adore this one, really I do - it's powerful and your last line just punches it home.
