Hatred. Shame. Fear.
Hatred.
The end is coming, we can all see,
We brought it about ourselves.
Watch as your empire burns,
As everything you worked for crumbles.
Watch as they turn to hate,
The ones who loved you once.
Funny how it all turns to dust.
A word is all it takes,
To make the world burn.
Shame.
This world is so full of hatred,
Blind to the real corruption.
Take it all, burn it all...
As long as it's not mine, they say.
Watch the shame, watch the humiliation,
As we exile those we once loved.
Throw your stones, throw them hard,
Remember..
This will be you, someday..
Fear.
Darkness stretching out before you,
Gaping, like the mouth of a beast.
Emptiness, an endless void,
Nobody exists anymore,
There is nothing but the void.
Cry for the pain,
The loss, the despair.
You have nowhere to run now.
Caged, beaten, abandoned,
No pity for the faceless ones.

in the seocnd line did you mean "we brought it upon ourselves?" idk sounded like that line but really beautiful piece. Especially the lines "a word is all it takes, to make the world burn" sends shivers ;3
but this piece has a lot of truth in it, though dark and sad this is all in a way true just want to remind you that this doesn't stay that way just pull through though time will come when you have to face all of these horrors you will also surpass them.
What was your inspiration for this piece
fredabomb
Quite. This piece is one which i rather like.
It brings me to that place where ash falls like snow,
And screams are pleas of the innocent.
Really did like your work though, its truly nice to read something as globaly aware as this.

Awesome. The truth isn't always bright and hopeful (not for everyone at least), especially for those who refuse to face it -- and you captured that quite well.

This captures war.
War is a thing that needs to be captured.
Captured and thrown in a box, for them to see.
For them to see and realize
And realize the fate of our earth.
This is not a thing that will carry on indefinitely--
Terrible enough if it would.
But eventually, we will destroy ourselves.
You've found that essence.

"No pity for the faceless ones."
What a killer line to end on. This gives me shivers. The words you used provoked pictures in my head and I could see this world you have painted full of the grotesque elements you named. Every line was well chosen.

Oh my god, this hit hard! Things have sucked and this is how I feel. This is beautifully executed and its something that can be related to on a personal level. I love it so much and thank you so much for writing this!
