Stained
Blinding vision, the misery increases
Scars embedded deep within
Fury burns the flesh singeing
To the third degree
Unavoidable tyranny and malice
Scorches the innocence
Leaving a gray dust of ash…
The burnt sacrifices of the day.
Showers pour down to cleanse the carnage
Leaving a monotone backdrop to intensify
The solemn consequence of a paternal dictatorship
Nowhere to hide, cowering amongst the debris
Left behind in your salacious rant
Those same rains that cleared your conscience
Failed to reach me, as I stand here stained.
Unsure of whether you do not see or choose not to...
The insurmountable damage caused by such recklessness
Amazing how easily you forget
Terrified even to this day to get too close
Fearing judgement from hypocritical eyes
Preaching to me, yet your guilt of an even worse
Offense shines through so transparently.
