Today

The world we're in
it seems to be
a failed project
of humanity.

Darkness clings
everywhere,
shadow zone
this world ensnared.

Sinful beings
bring the fire
of this place
a burning pyre,

Innocence is all but lost
in this land devoid of trust,
sanity's bastion in the cross
defiles itself in upper crust.

Pull away in defiance
hold truth in your clutch;
Utopia is incompliant
within this Hell's eager touch.
