Farther

by Wings Of Flames   Jul 2, 2007


The sky crosses blood,
The earth dry as dust,
Hate filled hearts live,
While love turns to lust,

Clouds hang in despair,
As acid falls to ache,
The brave scared of dying,
And tears never fake,

Pity falls from angels,
And perished are we all,
Gold turns to rust,
And the running beg to crawl,

Blades of grass are bitter,
And thinned of all so pure,
Blackened by the flames,
While searching for the cure,

The life lifted from us,
As Ice cuts the skin,
Brutal are these words,
As our sanity turns thin,

Bush called for the bomb,
And we ordered it to send,
The scar we have given,
Was our own that won't mend.

    Good until the end. I didn't like the last stanza. It didn't flow so nice and I just don't like political read lol. But a five out of five for the rest. :)

    Your choice of words was amazing. It was put together very nicely and I enjoyed this piece as well. A chilling and powerful poem to say the least.
