Cruel Kindness
All alone in sweet sorrow.
There is in my life
A cruel kindness
Known to no man.
Just to me.
With my new freedom
Comes responsibility.
It's cold down here,
I'm burning up.
Trapped in this cement prison
Sounds of bombs outside
I ran here in frozen haste
My family I thought inside.
'Their gone now.' I tell myself.
'Our home depressed to smithereens.'
Helpless, I lay absorbed in the power
Of the destructive sanctuary
Gory war
It's our way.
What we're gaining,
It's beautiful
What we've lost,
Is horrible,
The enemy
Tyrantly prancing around
The government
Their wisdom foolish
Care not
Not about me
Or my losses
I am to relish grieving for the rest of my days.
