The City Of Horror

How can one live

with those horrible cries

the ones that tear apart peaceful night skies.


How can one lay and sleep

while the people scream of hopes and dreams,

they dream of a feast like an animal or beast.


They’ve all been deprived for so long

so now they cause madness that can't be solved,

they bring a sadness over the whole town


These people have a want but no need

they sit and beg from their knees,

in their attempt to take over the streets.


Ever since that day, the day they all came

they came on a train from far far away, 

now I wonder if they'll ever go away.


I try to see these people for who they are

But i still wonder why they've come so far,

They have love but its been ripped like a tear or a scar.


This town is one of those places

No one comes and no one leaves, and sadness rains down on people like fall leaves

The gods promise one day everything will change, but for now it all stays the same.
