Genocide - Ryan Ramirez (the dot read aloud TXT) 📗

The sky burns in a velvet red inferno.

Pain and suffering encased.

Rolling upon waves of blood and tears down below.

A battle thrust upon the shoulders of all.

Flames of Hell burn in their eyes,

as their smiles bury their anguish.

Attacking themselves from within their own minds,

as they fall memories lost,

withering in the heat.

Not a glimmer of hope is found amongst the ash filled air.

Blood spills onto the hands of children.

Hearts ripped from lifeless bodies for pleasure.

Fear, pain, strength.

Only the power to fight tethers them down to the crumbling earth,

life destroying itself around them as they stand strong and free.

Still as innocent and naive as they were at birth.

They swallow their fear and anger like poison,

and still they enter the battle.

A shining and genuine horizon,

just among the bellowing clouds,

and there on that horizon rides their rested souls.

Above the fiery grip keeping them bound.
