Waste Of War
By deathndismay
The evergreens
Forever rendered black
Scorned with flame
Ever burned to ash
So sad to see the forests laid to waste
Blackened wells
Springs of radiation
Oasis from the pits of hell
Thirst of conflagration
So sad to see our rivers laid to waste
When towers fall to pieces
Endless war
is waged
Death toll increases
As the price of life is
paid
So sad to see our cities laid to waste
Masses slaughtered
Mass murder legislation
Bleed the sons and daughters
Breed
new hate by devastation
So sad to see our youth
is laid to waste
Hopelessness upon us
As war machines deploy
Helplessness within us
As gods of war destroy
So sad to see our leaders laying waste
Silence in the wake
As the voice for human rights
Screams for mercy's sake
Yet dies unheard
within the night
So sad to see
compassion laid to waste
Waste away
Laying waste for naught
Waste the light of day
Waste
in darkness as we rot
Waste by war
Waste our legacy
Wasted world
Wasted all to fallacy
So sad to see
