For Those Lost

Abyss
Abyss β€’ 56 followers

Lives are taken
Without a moments thought
What horrors we've wrought
Inside of our hearts.

People kill without reason
This world is so crazy
Things seem so hazy
Is there ever clarity?

Nothing seems to change
Things aren't right
How can we fight
The hidden beast within?

Fear behind every corner
Consuming and destroying
Evil thoughts conspiring
Always whispering to the mind.

Will there be a day
Where we can walk outside
And not hold fear that someone has died?
That someone is mourning needlessly?

I pray that day will come.

Life?

Life is passing us by -like a floating butterfly. We all live short but happy lives, we all laugh we all cry; but are we content with our lives. Oh no -we want more and more and more.

Fakeness

It’s a cruel world. So I’ve been told. By the ones who are supposed to know. And there is no fair. No one really shares. From the goodness of their souls. People speak. The wiser preach.

stand by time, break the rhyme, love a metallic dime, go by the big people's chime. squeeze the world out like a lime, empty it and cross the line.

A World Without Humanity

A world without humanity, Is one already lost, Everyone going for best, No matter what the cost. You would see the poor, Your would see their pain, You would see their lives, Flowing down the drain.

Reaping the Over Soul

Sit back chill. Surf the suffering. Too much equidistant losing. It's time for the standing of something. Enough nothing begot nothing. Stop bluffing. Wait for the cuffing. The nail in the coffin.

@PIRGIR Crazy, what goes on in peoples' minds. It almost makes me want to study psychology, just out of wanting to understand.
