Blind
To its own addiction
Silently slaughters
The masses.
Annihilation
Of the people
Unknowing,
Innocent.
Fumes, choking,
Lack of oxygen
Scarlet liquor
Stains the streets.
Trembling children
Smothered
By the diaphanous gas,
Submit to the pain.
Terror
Grips the oblivious
Knocking from behind
Stealing lives.
Blue lips
Cry out for 'mama'
Asphyxiated,
Voices fade.
Death wanders
Searching the streets
For more innocent lives
Who can't escape its clutches.
So many lives
Lost
Never forgotten
By the lucky ones.
