Man Made

Man Made 10/24/2013

While I was sleeping

The world turned upside down

And while I was dreaming

A nightmare cut out my heart. 

I stare at it now

Strangely detached and numb

Unable to understand

If anything matters at all. 

Yes, something has changed

And all of my life

Has come undone

But yet I live

And remain unmoved. 

Morning comes

And I struggle against the covers

Neither happy or sad

Robotic and unconscious.

Fires burn

And murderers shriek

Laughing as they slaughter

The innocent and the good.

Dizzily the blood flies in the air

Suspended for an instant

With arms and legs

A instantaneous mosaic

Bloody and horrific.  

The pits of hell

Have opened up

And spew forth a hatred

Spreading like a plague.

Some will cry

And light white candles

But now is not a time for mourning

But rather a time to confront.

You can sink

Or you can swim

Treading water

Any way you can. 

Claw at the day

And never give up

No matter what happens

Or how it looks.

Though the mountains melt

And the sea boil

Keep on fighting and believing

Even when it hurts

And even when its lost.
