Man's Legace
Desolate cities
Buildings corrode
Dilapidated streets
Rusted out cars
Famine plagues all
Disease becomes ubiquitous
Impoverished chaos
Radiating bodies
Deformed pain
New found pride
The thirst for control
The desire for industrialization
The lust for destruction
War mongering
Death dealing
Communism, Socialism, Capitalism
Gone
Anarchy, disorder
Pain and affliction
Distress and anxiety
Remain
The lies spewed up
Like noxious fumes released into the environment
Regulations passed by government are enforced
To control and detain man
To watch and spy at the will of the paranoid bureaucracy
Oppression, anger, hate, regret
Scientists worked, unaware
Of what they were creating
Politicians, fabricated, putting up the façade
To mask the undertones of unrest
To conceal under a screen of campaigns and legislations their intentions, their decisions
All for the cause of a greater good
The people listened and applauded blindly
Voicing decisions and casting votes
Unanimously deciding there fates
Choosing what they would pass down to the next generation
There actions forever branded upon the lives of the present, the past, the future
Every living person, every species felt the reverberating echo of destruction
Falling out, corrupting, changing
Constructing, molding and shaping
The nuclear youth
Riddled with the burdens bestowed by past administrations
There burden becomes there inheritance
The malice of a world unaware of its actions
There bequest, there birthright, there legacy
