sadness

sadness creeps in
while watching

destruction...
the falling apart
of things you love

malicious thoughts
and greedy minds
warp beloved
and bring us all to tears

are we too tired?
are we done fighting?
is the worst over?

have they won?
I hope not....
but what they?
it is but one

how can one being
cause so much misery?
how can one person
cut such a wide path?

are we sheep?

speak no longer of respect
as you are devoid

you are the monster
that has wrought
this devastation upon us
