death by inches (as the saying goes)
but sadness comes in waves
darkness creeps (despite the light)
lying shadows on the graves
children cry (for mother's milk)
but no one hears the calls
morning waits (in the dark)
another empire falls
angels' grace (a blessed gift)
is set upon so few
my hands are tied (and so are yours)
there is nothing left to do
the sun will set (as per routine)
and the moon will claim the sky
your breath will stop (so little time)
what is alive must die
