The Ruin of Broken Dreams
By HeadpatSlut
The Ruin of Broken Dreams
Born innocent into the
solemn place,
Where Joy is seldom kept,
As children gaze upon
the Face,
Of the Ancient Gods who wept.
With Woe and
Wonder and with Want,
Wander all the men about-
So quickly
quietly and gaunt,
They there are found who have bled out.
The Pitiful Paupers who prance all around-
The Weak and the Wasted
and Worn-
They shudder to see that at hearing a sound,
That
they all be discarded and torn.
So Sweet the is the Sorrow
Silence dear,
So dark and drearily-
Found so happily vanquished
here-
Died out so wearily.
The Shadows cast within the
Night,
And Darkness is uprising-
The Demons live in Dying Light,
As we are realizing.
The Night subdued into a day,
Where
Man is Mad with Fear,
The Wretched Wicked fade away-
And Death
is held so dear.
In Darkness lacking aim He gropes,
So
blissfully blatantly blind-
Hanging bodies by the ropes,
What
do you hope to find?
That Fathers going off to War-
Alone
the Mothers crying,
Fallen friends who live no more-
And Children
left to dying.
Among the wasted Earth ye wait,
As Satan
laughs it seems,
The Destination of your Fate-
Is The Ruin
of Broken Dreams.

Very dark write, I loved every bit, if you didn't win the talent show, you should have. It paints a very bleak, evil portrait indeed, thanks for sharing.
