Eyes closed doors to a world
outside these foreboding walls
a world only the minds eye can
glimpse but only if open minds
can truly see from beyond masks
a world where embers fall from
a dark opening in the sky and where
children can whisper but secrets are
never held through their cracked naive
lips all in this world is dead that walks
a burning ember drawing the fire from the
sky stands in the center where these dead
things burn what are we to say what they
deserve when we are dead unholy hell bound
beings just like them
