Descent into Madness


By palest morning,
soft earth rises.
A denser moist...

weeps.

Cling no more,
these hours
are but gone.
Twilight dies
and the children bleed.

A shrine to behold,
carried away--
in these arms of war.
A future, bereaved,
of days gone to hell.

Darkness mourns
our murderous lords.

Extraordinarily powerful, Liz. Thank you.
