Dark is the Way

Dark is the way and cold is the night

Down the desolate path of

Denial


These desperate people

Take drastic steps to

Dig deep graves


Where they bury

Their faith

Their hopes and most especially


Their loves

Whose faces dot the landscape of

Their memories.


With bitterness and

Learned forgetfulness

Their rage


Gives way to an empty space

A privation

Where an absence seethes


With a vile inhumanity

Breathing in and spitting out

All manner of lies


Slithering in corruption

Smelling of debauchery and

Slaughtering innocence.


Whose side are you really on?
