People are afraid
They think that they are safe
As the day rolls by
More and more feel safe
But the evil that lurks
Behind dark walls
Scares the little ones
Until they fall
Silence in the wind
No life around
Not a peep, not a sound
Death takes it’s toll
On people all around
Hunger, fear & threats; take people down

i randomly started to write this poem, there isn't any specific meaning to it. and when i finished it, it just, well turned out to have a dark, scary mood.
