Painting Demise

chaos and misery breeds within me
and you are forgetting what we are made of
i am but a mere child of pain and desolation
the war wages on as if we haven't lost
but the bleeding corpses beg to differ
and the swollen eyes of these children weep more
yet we fight and we fight and we fight
we are trampling all that is sane
and the war is never won and we fight more
we will win someday
and we will weep
for the cemeteries will overflow
and our kids will not have a world
and we will live amongst the reeking death
as the soil will throw bones at us
and the crops will bear skulls of the dead
and the plants will bloom guns and ammo
and then
we will remember
that the war has gone on
for eons and eons
and generations have died
and we will forget how to smile and live
we will forget what we are living for
and that's when the war will win
and all sides will lose without anything left
chaos and misery breeds in our souls
and the children weep for sanctity
and we kill them mercilessly without weapons
and we throw them to the wolves of tomorrow
and we throw them into a dilapidated world
the cosmos will curse us at the blasphemy
but will we ever learn to stop for once
we will go on rampages and we will trample
more and more of our kin
we are children of blood and sadness
we are hungry for peace and violence simultaneously
we are willing to go to war with ourselves
for we want to be seen and heard for once
we are not mere puppets in the hands of the future
and we are waging wars inside us
we are learning survival and primal instincts
and we are learning to not be mere fodder
in the clutches of the olden times
we are cracked children and our world has forgotten
to foster us into a world of calm
so we will become heathens and monsters
until tomorrow comes and turns us into the adults we abhor today
we will learn to kill and chew on anything that breathes
until the very core of this planet explodes
with the corpses of our young children
and finally we will learn to stop
when the earth will stop spinning on its axis
and the sun will scorch us into lumps of ash and bones
we will be coal and the fertilizer for the future
and the war will stop with our kin dissipating
the war will cease with our last breathes
