Feeling Chaos

hmm.

 

I’m high on ecstasy & disbelief

Sitting up here above the clouds

And looking down on all its chaos

 

The sounds of explosions

Of corruption

Of bleeding love

 

Gunfire & mass hysteria

 

My mind has found a faraway

Away from it all

 

The echo of lies

Of loss & letdowns

Of plain insanity

 

Blood & bodies

Lay about without sympathy

Without compassion

Without themselves

Blood rushing past it all

Through the lifeless streets

& emptied alleys

 

Past where children once played

Past where men built strong homes

Past where women would stand by & hope

 

Its flows on and on and on

 

The faint sobbing of a survivor

Growing ever fainter

The silence hanging in the midst of it all

 

Rain has begun to fall

Upon the streets of bloodshed

Failing to wash away the massacre of belief

Pushing it away like waste to open sewers

 

My ears ringing

My mind fleeing

My soul ripping

My eyes stung by this sight

 

The never ending hate filling these streets

To the brim with destruction

With the emptied promises of higher power

The stolen freedom of innocents

The murdered lives of people who knew nothing

The world has shattered

Beneath this human race & its hate
