WICKED SOULLESS WORLD

All the dreams gone rack and ruin
Perished in a whim
Mournful eyes
lulled by tears
Cries of stars

No one now remains
Songs and plains
Betrayal is now
a prick of kama sharp
to a wounded heart

Wicked soulless world
like darkness it fell
Noting left but sorrows
cries and hell

Droplets of bloody tears
Pour into the river streams
Yet noone to stop
To mourn
Waiting in vain for the break of dawn

Everyone's morose
the pitiable striking a happy pose
Our days are burdensome
Alone to death we succumb

Wicked soulless world
looks you in the eyes and lies!
If anyone ever
speaks of love for you,
smile
and heal before it hurts you.

Saša Milivojev
