Slaughter

by Sam M. Phillips

.

It’s very upsetting

But I’m not letting

It get to me,

I’d rather be

A million miles away,

Trying to enjoy my day,

Than stay here

Covered in fear.

.

It’s clear the world is dark,

Fog smothers spark,

Mark of the divine

Is hard to find

When war covers the land.

.

Brand of the devil,

The obviousness of evil,

We revel in slaughter,

Hear the laughter

Of the tormentor.

.

Law provides balance,

Dance of death,

Breath of life,

Blade of knife

We balance upon.
