the aftermath of human hearts

so helpless,
my tears will soon fill the rivers
my words have dried in the dust
of verses burning in anger
the summer winds will melt
the eternal glaciers of memory
the seas will rise in upheaval, scattering mankind
to places where nourishment can no longer be found
while the lakes run dry, assassinating the poor
who suckle on the remains of the infertile earth
the faithless
have learned only to exaggerate their gods
in wars of impious eccentricities
I too have lost the path towards enlightenment
powerless,
I look down on this land of free choice
where fraternity has forgotten liberty
I can no longer condone the survival of the fittest
the wisdom learned by a select few
has brought the apocalyptic maelstrom
that miracles can no longer contain
tearless
my angels acclaim death
lost in the ashes of the aftermath
of human hearts torn from the soul of life itself
