Disease

by Hex

Depravity dines, corrupt calamity, Twisting lines, vile virality, Prophets scream and children listen, Deceptions deem what we may christen, "The world is dying--have they no morals?" Eternally spying--I observe the laurels, Gold that glistens, tightly weaved, A blight of ricin, so slays the leaves, The weed does not wither, it does not collapse, With chill comes a shiver, consumed are the scraps, "The world is dying--have they no charity?" Eternally prying--At last, I have clarity, The world, I had swore, may one day find peace, The world, it's at war, a war that shan't cease, Weapons need not, we fight with mind, Nary a lulled thought, serenity is blind, "The world is dying--can our home mend?" Eternally trying--I can't stop the end.
