Land of the most sacred,
where death takes the lead.
Encrusted from bombs and fire,
from a people today unseen.
The keepers of the land,
white eyes befall.
As humanity reigns ,
yet the devil came to call.
Blind are the eyes over eden,
today the devil drinks his fill.
Families taken children bleeding,
the terrorists foot the bill.
The land of the walking dead,
brought forth unwilling to die.
They fill the bodies those standing,
and lead them now life denied.
Shadows are amongst us ones we dont see,
often takes our souls from sea to sea.
It's a gateway opened for the devil soft spoken loved by all,
to a deaf world in need a place where love stalled.
Now a world once eden,
riddled in pain and death.
Children starving homeless and the parents all on meth.
Driven by a hunger every night is hallows eve,
for a land so loved was neglected each day we toy'ed with death,
yet we are to blame we planted his seed.
The chosen ones today and now ,
blind to the people homeless bound .
Chidlren left in hunger parents take suicide,
makes the devil happy he has ownership now where love was denied.

I absolutely love your take on the prompt. its sad to me that not many can see the horrible things that are happening around us in the world today. neglect comes at a very high cost. your poem speaks of truths not many are ready to admit to.. but you are right on many points with this.. your AN have a important message... and yes the devil lies.
good luck

You have excellent imagery, my only concern is some of the lines didn't seem to flow smoothly. (although that may be your aim in which case ignore what I just said!) lol, great stuff, keep it up!
