Initiation...Degradation
souls infused with hatred
killings just another word
for acceptance
I’m winning me a prize you say
as you actively seek out
those who answer the call
of your feeble brain
God help us all!
you want to run with the bad guys
and prove yourself worthy
a part of something bigger
mean keen and dirty
to be one of them
is all that surely matters?
united in twisted reality
and the blood that is splattered
with jagged thrusts of a knife
you spill the blood and take the life
of innocence...lost forever
thanks to your evil endeavours
as the blood forms a puddle
on the unforgiving road of gravel
in anonymous streets and places
that were once a means to an end
to get to what you call home
now because of your deed
their end...is your means
all that's left is minds tortured
with carefree abandon

all that's left is minds tortured
with carefree abandon
and no forethought
we know their loved ones live on
long after the cruel act is done
nothing takes away the agony
even time is never guaranteed
to lessen its grip and give succour
to the hearts torn asunder
when the light has dimmed
we know their loved ones live on
long after the cruel act is done
nothing takes away the agony
even time is never guaranteed
to lessen its grip and give succour
to the hearts torn asunder
when the light has dimmed
in panic stricken eyes
and souls have flown
and souls have flown
into the heavenly skies
their journey through this life
their journey through this life
is now completed
but what of those left behind
but what of those left behind
whose souls are defeated
Who are left to mourn
Who are left to mourn
what you have engineered
each drop of blood
each drop of blood
equals one million tears
bereft of their loved ones
bereft of their loved ones
so adored and nurtured
who they sought to build character
who they sought to build character
and teach virtue
happy individuals on a path paved
happy individuals on a path paved
with tomorrows
of what could have been
of what could have been
but was now lost forever
bedrooms lay empty
bedrooms lay empty
with the ghosts of before
of words left unspoken
of words left unspoken
and minds numb with feeling
in a world where violence
in a world where violence
seeks to scar
those whose lives are not
those whose lives are not
consumed with war
knives were never made
knives were never made
to take another’s life
to kill a human being
to kill a human being
to harm...annihilate
so you got you wanted
so you got you wanted
you’re part of a team
how proud you must be
how proud you must be
how high your esteem
no peace you’ll find
no peace you’ll find
once the deed is done
when sleep evades you
when sleep evades you
and your mind reruns
your act of depravity
your act of depravity
upon society’s children
eventually you’ll have
eventually you’ll have
to answer to someone
whatever your thoughts are
whatever your thoughts are
on who created life
there will come a time
there will come a time
when you will answer the call
when death’s crooked finger
when death’s crooked finger
will beckon us all
then what will you say
then what will you say
will you be filled with pride
of what you’ve accomplished
of what you’ve accomplished
during this life
think carefully before
think carefully before
you think to hurt another
you can’t retrace your steps
you can’t retrace your steps
undo the damage
suffering is not only for those
suffering is not only for those
who weep at their loss
but for us all
but for us all
whatever the cost
there I will leave you
there I will leave you
to your thoughts of tomorrow
and the ghosts of lost souls
and the ghosts of lost souls
who dwell in your shadow
