the sky bled innocence.

the sky bled innocence.
________________

T'was a Cold
Day in Hell when
The Rage began
to Burn.

When the lights
began to Dim.

(and the World
no longer turned.)

Shots rang out
in the darkness..

whizzing past like
electric hummingbirds..

fired by the Heartless,
who kill without a
Word.

A small kid who
should have been
in school, (or at
home laughing at
some stupid cartoon)
was shooting an M-16
at strangers beneath
the Dead Moon..
ready to die for a
God he's never talked
to. (he was the same
age as my Nephew)

Sarg. said "light
em up."

so they did..
and I wept.

(then the Sky
Bled Innocence
I'll Never know
Again.)
