Read Time:1 Minute, 53 Second

Darkened happy sky
Terrific torrential down poor
Thunder roars
Another innocent blood bleda
The weeping earth
This flood of tears
Will it ever end?

Mortals go about daily
In patches of tears and sorrow
Wails wattle joy
Furry fracture oneness
Another upheaval of war
Yet another massacre
A fateful humanity
Sail through storms and thorns
Gleaning pomes and spines
What a wayward world!
Gray-headedness heads to hell
Graves spew blood
Statutes shed tears
Terror and dread
Make us cower
A loving-hate
A bitter-sweet
Is the world like ours
Dismay prevail perpetually
Fishes leap high into the sky
Lions fly high
Phoenix expires and retires to resurrect
The wine of the harlot appeals palates
Pools are made of blood
Mystery hovers
Hopes heartlessly punctured
Evil and good conflicts
Therein our hearts on daily terms
This is another war
Who will win?
Palates are denied
The tasty flesh of monkeys and bats
Bathing with saline solution
Many lives are snuffed out
Yet another gory
A cause for more tears

What we will willeth us not
Who can save humanity?
O come!
Immortality come!
We yearn for thee
Darkened happy sky
Terrific torrential down poor
Thunder roars
Another innocent blood bleda
The weeping earth
This flood of tears
Will it ever end?
