The Endless Circle of Hate

The Endless Circle of Hatestyle='font-size:16.0pt'>

The flames dance lightly

Up towards a cloudless, black
sky

Dirtying the stars with its
marring smoke

The smell of rotting flesh

Fills the senses and engraves
itself into your mind

And below those flames are
piles of shells

The dreams long filtered out

Ascending to the heavens

Or spiraling down to hell

They add more to the pile

And illness adds to the
rancid wafting

Trapped in between

The blood soon turns to ash
and becomes the earth

Which will
bring about a single rose

Birthed by the writhing hopes
of the breathless souls

Among the living

The fire starter leaned down
to pick it out

And pricked his finger on its
razor thorns

A trickle of blood joins the
ashy earth

The poison of hate seethes
through it

And the man joins the fire

The endless circle loops back

And back

The endless circle of hate
