Contained

The world contained within itself Dragging along slower than time How did we get here A world beyond reason Where the sinners are free And the innocent in chains These wicked wastelands Run thick with blood And endless suffering Enveloping The forests and skies The creeks and rivers Into shadows that speak our universal silence All the smiles captured on film Playing backwards until There is nothing but an empty feeling Of weighted loneliness That burrows deep Into my heart
