Sunflowers tainted by tastes of devastation.
Crimson speckles of pain,
disfigure natures perfection;
as sun drenched petals drip misery,
into empty holes of humanity.
Precious gifts stolen without conscious effort.
Erased slates, once full of hopeful possibilities,
now barren, a desert wasteland.
Turbulent skies of mixed emotions stir,
restlessly as raindrops of sorrow bleed upon despair.
