Resurgence

 

 

Never chance to assimilate where hearts have broken,

In a land of unbecoming beauty,

Tarnished by war devoted to love,

 

A new world upon the same earth,

 

Skin like streamers hang from limestone walls,

Blemished by blood soaked sand,

Where metallic beasts roam,

 

A new world upon the same earth,

 

A cultural division sewn together by conflict,

Trained to live by enforced truths,

They walk with internal disrupt,

 

A new world upon the same earth,

 

Skies stripped of splendor by power line scars,

Where man made clouds billow white,

And tragedy tangles with grief,

 

A new world upon the same earth,

 

Black bags adorn heads of men like crowns,

As a staged presentation commences,

And cheers arise like prayer,

 

A new world upon the same earth

 

Widows who wither with malice intent,

Holding decapitated trophies of war,

With a past that’s never present,

 

A new world upon the same earth,

 

You wish you were home but you’re already there
