Children

Children are born

to a world bleeding

on its deathbed.



The gravity of

the pendulum’s swing

weighs heavily on us.



We carry crosses

to our tombs,

buried in regret.



Here we stand

on Calvary’s mound,

heads bowed in defeat.



The sun rages on,

the moon depressed

by who life revolves.



The light swallowed

the pitch-y dark

and sung us a lullaby.
