GLORIOUS HUMANITY TAINTED

Folder: 
JOURNAL #33

glorious humanity

tainted

with blood

by hate and hates violent seekers

the blue dreamers' coming of age

cultures are but a mere cage

vivid histories

separated only by language

struggle to take each village

whether bathed or unbathed

in brutal societies many fogs

ambassadors of black

how you make me cry

at your endlessly hungry rage

your words became a thief

to thousands of lives

form holds life

life holds form

gun kills life

life is gone

children once

in the ways that count

children no more

a cruel immoral lottery

your frightened ticket

holder

the winner

one far away night

at a time

save me their tiny eyes cry

so another day I can rise

and struggle another day

to remain unharmed

and alive.............
