The world groans
In its agony.
For decadence
Pollutes its people.
Darkness enriches itself
As light is snuffed out,
Everywhere retreating,
Disappearing.
The art of butchery
Is highly honed
As war spreads
Its tendrils
Across the globe.
Terrorizing the weak,
Emboldening the strong.
Suffering has become
The norm which
Life is based upon.

Strong and powerful poem , Aaron, too many skillful butchers indeed.
