Tears of anger, Tears of pain. Drowning cities, Crashing planes. War declared on useless dust. Blood shed daily, In God we trust. Fear of death engulfs us all. A mighty nation poised to fall. Christian soldiers cold and numb, march to the beat of scarlet drums.

With every gaze in my direction, a needle pierces my heart. Is it possible that you enjoy causing me pain? As if I don't curse myself daily for the wrong turn my heart took, leading me into the very depths of Hell. Into fires so hot, my tears evaporate before they reach my cheeks.

Anyway Bravo!
