Welcome to my hell.

A hell emblazoned by darkness,

Where humans twist and contort into snake-like beings,

Where eyes are filled with bloodshot dread,

Where the wind blows you off your feet,

Where love is an extinct commodity,

Where hatred rules supreme,

Sleep depraved, Hunger unconquered, Rain relentless.

Humans scattered across many lands,

Crops sowed among the dead,

Men speaking in different tongues.

How did we let it go so far!

Did science explain all?

If we can’t dream a little then how can we hope at all.

We need those dreams, because from them springs hope...one of the few things that the human race need never run out of.  This is a very heavy piece, the message was powerful, but real....and appreciated...~S~

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart  ~~S~~
