Floods, storms
Water with weight
Burning fire
Heat shining bright
Earthquakes, fissures
Ground shaking with rage
Tornado, typhoon
Hurricane of pain
Natural disaster, natural tragedy
Artificial tragedy comes with humanity
Spread like a wildfire
Strike like thunder
Sink like an iceberg
Sting like a swarm

Clarity
Truth of the mind
Does it foster love?
Or does it foster chaos?
Lateral truth
Lateral violence
How many have died
Fighting for lies?

Control and coldness
Sliding scales
Twisted reflections
Balance is needed
But all we offer is extremes
One or the other
All it does is smother
How far we have come
Tells how far we have left
Independence
Turns our hearts insulated
Blocking and dodging
What matters most
By killing hope

Oh, the rain
Nurturing and plentiful
Necessary for life
As it drops down our hands
Oh, the rain
I wonder if one day
Our rain-soaked hands
Will be filled with holes
As you pierce right through us
A cry soon hushed
Since the deal was
Acid for gold

People crumble
The rest shall follow
I would save them all
But the pain is hard to swallow

Teeth like knives
Eyes blood red
Hands adorned with claws
Feet fast to hunt
A beast, a monster
Self-made moniker
Looking in glass reflections
Was it always like this...?
Am I the victim or just another monster?

Awake and dreaming
Dreaming while awake
Awake while dreaming
But reality keeps me dreaming
Of a better place where we have meaning
Now all that remains are illusions
Justifying ourselves
By removing feeling
While the successful look down
To feel something
So cruel and smug
To fill years of disharmony
