Civil War

Heaviness on my heart today.

I saw you there, but did you see me?

I’m worried about you,

Wondering if you know

What’s going on around you.

Troubled to see you,

Taking people’s lives into your hands,

Destiny falls before you.

Life force quakes beneath your yolk.

Bodies piled up, you crawl across them.

Some hanging from the rafters,

Their insides spilling out.

Begging for mercy, pity, anything.

But then I see you through the lens,

I see you fall, I feel the heaviness again.

Please, you say, don’t let them kill me.

That’s a quote for the ages.
