#WritcoPoemPrompt54

I feel my heart is wrenching and ask myself is it all worth it?

The pain...

The crying...

The anguish...

Born into the world untainted by sin
Anew, fresh eyes in this sullen world of darkness
The intoxicating air, wrought with smog, smoke and ash. It begins.
By birth, a world broken in tatters, the deprivation of humanity. Charmless

A cruel world, sunflowers even turn to dust, scorched by sinful choices
Flushed away hope's, as if a tidal whirlpool, sucking the happiness of souls
Societal demands grow, as the clutches grow tighter. Like cattle hoisted
Ligature & tourniquet marks... bare, brash and brutal marks. Paying the toll

Slaves to the slaughter, lambs to the farm, killing would be too humane
Siphoned away, left to decay, with little recollection or, remorse of actions: of betrayal
Like wood of a fire, slowly, certainly, we perish to dust. Unanswered our pain

A single teardrop
Lost to thousands in rhe rain
An ocean of silent woes, tsunami of pain, reduced to illuminati - complainers
Mortality a little more frail, painted as betrayal

Corruption floods screens, filtering screams
Dreams seeming impeached, plucked like a ripe peach
Compassion degraded to a treat; life's bittersweet
