Empty Words

Empty words and useless phrases.
Life begins in ugly dazes.
Look at all you've created.
Look at problems you've situated.
People walking with no destination.
Smiles fading in desolation.
Truth muddled by bitter laughter.
Hate reimbursed by better after.
What life gives you is all you deserve.
Memories, too destroyed to preserve.
The world, too muck reality to take.
The soul, too many wounds of ache.
Injustice brings the damned in view.
Stand to see this hatred brew.
What much more can people bare?
What more pain can these hearts spare?
These empty words and useless phases.
This life ends in dusty hazes.

"Truth muddled by bitter laughter.

This is a really powerful piece. I also love the way it flows. These certianly aren't "empty words". Thanks for sharing.

This was great. I really liked the flow and style of it all.
