The War We All Fight

Porcelain bodies flung against a cold, white wall.

Frail and silent voices, drowned out by the wind.

Oh Savagery, whom will you take from me today?

Hopeful voyages, onward to reclaim our humanity.

An exposed heart, still beating, feasted on by a dozen of leeches.

Oh Lust, what will you take from me today?

A room filled with eyeless faces, profiles barely human.

Apparitions of Hadean origin roaming aimlessly between dimensions.

Oh Despair, whom will you take from me today?

Valiant spirits erased with one violent strike.

Abominations hunted down and slaughtered.

Oh Hatred, what will you take from me today?

Nobody is safe.

Nobody is beautiful.

Nobody will hear.

Don't you dare run, don't you dare die. What are we supposed to do?

Who will guide us?

Who will save us?

Who will kill us?

Don't you dare speak, don't you dare fall silent. What are we supposed to do?
