LAST CYCLE © 2008
In silence through the gloom, I crawl slowly,
Like a soldier seeking to escape in the dark.
I dodge the bullets of humans, cold and insane,
Profane gazes, like pipes, forged a thousand years ago.
The air is heavy, with a nauseating stench,
Manufactured in the sewers, where evil runs deep.
Dead rats float in the river of decay,
Echoing the screams of a world in decomposition.
But I continue in silence, through the shadowy corridors,
Averting my gaze from such cold fates.
Humanity lost, in an endless cycle,
Where the dead and the living are thus confounded.
