Daylight Dies

by alex-crilly-mckean

Watching as all of daylight dies, a gentle smile hiding a bloody knife, come and look upon the lord of the flies. Everyone fell deaf to the hundreds of cries, the vast oceans filled with turmoil and strife, watching as all of daylight dies. A tender kiss for you who spreads rabies, you who keeps the dead children safe, come and look upon the lord of the flies. We celebrate your clear abnormalities, you who relished burning down that café, watching as all of daylight dies. Why should we care for a family of nobodies? Who received an early trip to the afterlife, come look upon the lord of the flies. We watch you, casting away tragedies, smiling at how you, the simple farmwife, watching as all of daylight dies. Come and look upon the lord of the flies.
