"Plea for Liberation"

Hell’s fire scorches the surface

Of this ground I walk on.

Envy, jealousy, betrayal, anger-

It burns in the eyes of men.

In the core of this wretched world,

People burn for eternity but are never consumed,

Only feeding the inferno.

Putting others down

To bring themselves up-

It’s hard to survive in a world so cruel.

Broken hearts and lost hopes.

Love is gone.

Dreams are dead.

Peace is a thing of the past.

It’s the ongoing war between good and evil

Innocent children laugh and play-

They know not of the pure wickedness of men.

I want nothing more than to leave.

My God, please wake me from this nightmare

Because it’s hard to live in the midst of the dead.
