How many funerals can a week hold?
The mass grave of a millennium.
Crying, weeping, sobbing,
feel you've lost everything.
He's gone,
she's heartbroken,
all she wants is to,
sleep.
She's gone,
mentally locked in his room,
going through the pictures.
The crowd of sorrow,
parted naturally.
These cry out,
look for something,
anything,
why does this hurt?
If truly perfected, planned, wanted,
why does this hurt?
If this is the same since time,
why does this hurt?
Left in confusion,
many heartbroke,
wander,
lost.
Others lie,
confuse with words,
and deeds,
false sympathy.
That shiny and bright thing,
that glows,
and beams touch my skin.
A vaguely familiar thing,
at first I fear it burns.
Instead, I face it,
drink it in,
changing from threat to friend,
now a fire burns within me,
motivating me.
Is this it then?
This is the perfected plan?
I look as others still lay,
heartbroke,
lost.
Who'll tell these?

It's Here & Now
If you see it,
If you smell it,
If you feel it,
If you hear it,
How can it not be there?
If you see it,
ribs showing,
scar littered bodies,
water, earth, fire start a war,
children, no parents,
eyes with pain,
If you smell it,
tang of blood,
squalor and feces,
decay of idealized hopes,
lungs full of ashes,
bodies rotting.
If you feel it,
earth rumbling,
people losing faith,
bonds of love shattered, torn,
some lost in their minds,
bodies rebelling,
If you can hear it,
winds whistling,
screaming, crying,
houses of peace gone,
words of fear, hate,
muzzle blasts,
How can it not be there,
some losing, some gaining,
the end of the end,
facing truth,
stuck, no denials left,
the ultimate second chance.
