Pool of Broken Tears

Raise your umbrellas
to a sky the sun has forsaken.
Friendships are forgotten
as too many liberties are taken.

Harsh words
Apologies unheard
Lethal knives
Destroying precious lives.

Hearts torn asunder
Peace is no more
The madmen rape and plunder
my fantasy world at war.

I am caught
Death is near
My Life’s blood drains
from my body to 
mingle with the
pool of broken tears.
