Smoke
October 8, 2013
Fetters clank beneath a grimy eye
Fragile light elucidates
Regardless where our musings lie
Festering
Blistering in the slime.
It is time!
It is time!
Listen to the chime
And know that it is the time!
The wasteland simmers
Aching with the dust
The tired sky shivers
Dripping dry drops of rain
Onto a choking plain.
It is time!
It is time!
She says it is wartime
We know it is time.
Dark beasts lie below us
Within us
Trap them
Lock them
Free ourselves away
Know that now is the time.
