Poetry - The Escape Route

Look out, look out as the sky burns, Ashes spread across, empty churns, Heaven comes crashing down, Mortals running scared across town Look out, look out as we add fuel to the fire, Let the storm take over, burnt desire, As violence becomes the only means, Life still goes on with its routines Look out, look out as the birds stop chirping, Sorrow spread across, still hurting, He's looking down at us teary-eyed, As we fail to swallow our pride Look out, Look out as we lose our humanity, Let our urges take over, such insanity, No more dreams, just stay down curled, Welcome my son, welcome to the world

Falling into the abyss, After all that's been amiss, Watching the darkness spread across, Caught within by his own flaws Intolerance spreading like fire, Unfettered from his own desires, Stood up against the tall order, Pulled away from the border The massacre swept through his eyes, The figureheads ordering his demise, On the run from those in guise, Melting away into the skies Enveloped by the dense smokes, Feeding on his failed hoax, Fails to conceive past the gloom, Falling back into his tomb
