Stalking, violent, darkness, despair<\/p>\n
floating, flying across the air<\/p>\n
wicked men whip the lash<\/p>\n
as innocence fades into the past<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Blood stained roads and marble floors<\/p>\n
monuments built on war<\/p>\n
Bleached white bones line the stairs<\/p>\n
yet two by two we follow in pairs<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Death becomes those that follow<\/p>\n
without care, without sorrow<\/p>\n
fetch your friends and feed them to the grinder.<\/p>\n
let’s make these skyscrapers higher.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tear filled valley’s reflect a past<\/p>\n
when choice and freedom were vast<\/p>\n
forsake what’s given<\/p>\n
change the game!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Challenge those who are to blame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
